Discussions between the U.S. and Syrian governments are underway following his death in Sweida, a predominantly Druze area. Details of Saraya's death remain unclear as inquiries continue.

The U.S. State Department has called for an immediate investigation following the death of a U.S. citizen in Syria. The department engaged in direct discussions with the Syrian government regarding this matter, according to spokesperson Tommy Pigott.

The deceased, Hosam Saraya, died last week in Syria's predominantly Druze region of Sweida. The circumstances surrounding his death have prompted the State Department to take action.

The State Department's announcement underscores the serious nature of the incident. The ongoing talks with the Syrian government highlight the gravity of the situation as the U.S. seeks further clarification on the circumstances leading to Saraya's death.
