Syrian President al-Scharaa Proposes Security Agreement with Israel
Syrian President al-Scharaa has expressed intentions to pursue a security agreement with Israel, aiming to facilitate comprehensive peace while maintaining Syria’s claim to the Golan Heights.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, al-Scharaa emphasized the importance of avoiding confrontations between the two nations. His statements coincided with UN Secretary-General António Guterres’s visit to Syria, during which he urged Israel to respect Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, Israeli forces advanced into Syria, occupying strategic areas. Israel captured the Golan Heights during the Six-Day War in 1967 and subsequently annexed the territory in 1981.
