  "summary": "Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani has expressed hope that negotiations with Israel over a security deal will resume soon, with the goal of Israel withdrawing from Syrian land. According to Al-Monitor, al-Shaibani stated that Damascus' priority is to halt Israeli attacks, and that confidence-building steps are needed in this direction.\n\nThe comments come days after Israel bombed a Syrian airbase. Al-Monitor reported that al-Shaibani urged Israel to seize a \"historic opportunity\" as the door for diplomacy is open.\n\nThere was no direct response from Israel. Meanwhile, the Gulf Times reported that Qatar has condemned an attack on a bus belonging to the Internal Security Forces in Damascus, which injured several security personnel. Qatar expressed its solidarity with the Syrian government in maintaining security and stability.",
