Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Damascus is pursuing a security agreement with Israel, with the participation of several countries, that could pave the way for comprehensive peace while preserving Syria’s claim to the Golan Heights. He stressed that Syria seeks no confrontation and wants stability, even as Israeli forces have carried out incursions and shelling in the Golan and Yarmouk Basin areas. Al-Sharaa emphasized Lebanon non-intervention and cooperation with the Lebanese government, warning that instability there would directly affect Syria and reiterating support for the Lebanese state’s control over weapons and decisions on war and peace. He noted slow progress on the agreement with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and announced a committee to address missing persons in line with international standards. He also mentioned evolving economic sanction dynamics, improving ties with Iraq, and unresolved talks with Russia over Syria’s military bases. The broader regional security dialogue includes reports of discussions between Lebanon’s leadership and the United States about potential security or defense arrangements to counter Israeli influence, illustrating the wider implications of security deals in the region.
