U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack praised the interim government in Damascus and demanded a "dialogue" between Israel and Syria.
The U.S. envoy said Syria's envoy said the conflict between Israel and Syria was "resolvable" because he visited the capital, Damascus and praised the Provisional Government as the political and economic meltdown between the country and the Western powers continued rapidly.
Thomas Barrack, who has raised the flag on the residence of the U.S. ambassador for the first time since the shutdown in Syria in 2012, said that resolving the issue between Syria and Israel would need to start with a "dialogue."
"I'm going to say we just need to start with a non-aggressive agreement and talk about borders and boundaries," he told reporters on Thursday.
In recent months, the United States has begun to establish ties with Syria under its new administration.
In early May, the United States also lifted sanctions on the country in a surprise announcement, destroying a country for a vital lifeline that has suffered nearly 14 years of war. A few days later, the EU followed suit.
Barak said Syria will no longer be regarded as a state sponsor of “terrorism” by the United States, saying the issue has disappeared, “(Former President Bashar Assad’s regime is completing”, but added that the U.S. Congress still has a six-month review period.
"The intention and the president's vision are that we must give this young government a chance by not intervening, not being harsh, not giving conditions, not imposing our culture on your culture," Barack said.
Al Jazeera's Mahmoud Abdel Wahed reported that the warm relationship between Syria, the United States and other Western countries was "a major shift in the political dynamics in the region."
Wahed explained that as Foreign Minister Asad al-Shaibani continues to meet with representatives of Western countries and EU and UN officials, this will bring "a lot of benefits" to the new Syrian government and the Syrian people.
"It's some kind of recognition of the new leadership - providing new leadership with opportunities to promote its economy to bring more Western investment to help the government rebuild the war-torn Syria," he added.
The two countries have had a difficult relationship since the Arab-Israel War in 1967 and Israel's subsequent occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights.
Shortly after Al-Assad was ousted in December, Israel occupied more Syrian territory near the border, claiming fears of an interim government led by Ahmed Al-Sharaa.
Israel has frequently attacked Syria since Assad's rule and removal.
At a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Al-Sharaa in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, U.S. leaders urged Al-Sharaa to normalize relations with Israel.
Although Al-Sharaa has not commented on the possible normalization of Israel, he supports returning to the terms of the 1974 ceasefire agreement that created a UN buffer in the Golan Heights.
