Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa announced that Syria is working on formulating a security agreement with Israel mediated by several countries, hoping it will lead to a comprehensive peace settlement in the future. According to him, the agreement will not be merely ad hoc but will serve as a gateway to a comprehensive peace agreement. However, he emphasized that an agreement with Israel will not come at the expense of Damascus's demand for sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Al-Sharaa warned that deterioration into chaos in Lebanon would directly affect Syria, and that the expansion of the US and Israel's war against Iran could cause severe consequences for the region. He also addressed the economic situation, arguing that the removal of sanctions would not suffice without removing Syria from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. The article notes that al-Sharaa, formerly the head of al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, is now receiving international embrace.
