Dec 2 - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday a deal with Syria is possible and he expects Syrian authorities to establish a demilitarised buffer zone from Damascus to Mount Hermon and other areas.

Amnesty International's secretary general says Syria's new authorities show some commitment to reform, transitional justice and reconciliation.

His remarks came during a visit to Sheba–Tel Hashomer Medical Center, where he met with reserve soldiers from Brigade 55 injured in the recent clash in Syria

Netanyahu’s message comes a day after US President Donald Trump warned Israel via social media against destabilizing Syria and its new leadership, shortly before holding a phone conversation with Netanyahu.

Israeli forces have raided a village in southern Syria, killing at least 13 people, according to Syrian officials.

President Donald Trump on Monday gave an update on the Middle East regarding Syria and Israel. “The United States is very satisfied with the results displayed, through hard work and determination, in the Country of Syria,” he wrote on TRUTH Social.

An Israeli military operation on a Syrian village Friday morning turned into the deadliest attack by a foreign nation on Syria since the ouster of former dictator Bashar al-Assad last year.

Fourteen people are on trial, charged with crimes related to an outbreak of sectarian violence under the new government. The abuses of the old Assad regime still await a reckoning.
