TIMELINE: Israeli-Syrian relations

(Reuters) - Israel and Syria concluded on Monday a second round of indirect peace talks mediated by Turkey and agreed to meet again, but officials did not announce plans for face-to-face negotiations straight away.

The two countries are formally at war, but have observed a ceasefire since 1974. Previous peace talks collapsed in 2000.
