Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara revealed that Syria is seeking to reach a new security agreement with Israel, aimed at restoring arrangements to the borders of the 1974 agreement or formulating a new framework that ensures stability for both sides.
Al-Shara clarified that any potential agreement must include the withdrawal of Israeli forces to the lines prior to the separation of forces agreement, emphasizing that the Golan file will remain a sovereign issue that is non-negotiable.
Damascus: The Golan is Occupied Land and Any Annexation is Illegal
Al-Shara confirmed that any international recognition of the annexation of the occupied Syrian Golan would be null and void, stressing that political and diplomatic solutions are the only path proposed at this stage.
This position comes in the context of a broader diplomatic movement through which Damascus seeks to reposition itself regionally and internationally after years of conflict.
Syria Moves Towards Diplomacy and Regional Stability
Al-Shara pointed out that Syria has chosen to distance itself from military escalation paths and focus on stability and reconstruction, considering that the country is undergoing a transition from conflict to an environment conducive to investment and development.
He also emphasized that current Syrian policy is based on avoiding engagement in regional conflict axes and focusing on restoring internal balance.
Parallel Files: Foreign Withdrawal and Integration of “SDF”
In a related context, the Syrian president confirmed that Syria is working to complete the withdrawal of foreign forces from the northeast of the country, alongside pushing the integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into state institutions.
Observers believe that these steps aim to enhance the unity of Syrian territory and solidify the central control of the state.
Political Message: Syria Seeks a New Regional Role
Al-Shara clarified that Damascus is working to reshape its regional position through diplomatic openness and building balanced relationships with international powers, considering that the upcoming phase should focus on stability and development instead of conflict.
This statement is viewed as a signal of a shift in Syrian political discourse towards negotiated solutions in highly complex regional files.
