Syria is choosing diplomacy with Israel, but can its approach last?

• Ever since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government, Syria has chosen diplomatic engagement with Israel over military confrontation.
• As Syria’s new government attempts to rebuild the country after more than a decade of war, the country’s officials have committed themselves to a policy of avoiding conflicts with their neighbours.
• Yet Israel continues to disrupt any efforts at a more sustained peace agreement, including through repeated attacks on Syrian soil.
