Syria has firmly denied reports that its representatives met with Hezbollah in Turkey last month, according to the Middle East Eye. Reuters cited six sources close to the events, suggesting that the meeting was arranged by Turkish intelligence to ease tensions between the two entities. However, Syria's foreign media spokesperson on X dismissed these claims as false, stating that no such meeting ever took place.
The spokesperson also noted that there have been no confirmed meetings between Hezbollah and the Syrian government since the removal of Hezbollah's former ally, President Bashar al-Assad, in December 2024.
