Syria’s Sharaa: Working on security pact with Israel, could lead to comprehensive peace deal

Syrian leader tells Al Jazeera that Damascus has no interest in conflict with Israel; again rejects Trump's urgings for him to send troops to deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced in a Sunday interview that Syria is pursuing a security agreement with Israel, potentially leading to comprehensive peace. The negotiations, involving multiple countries, aim for Israel's military withdrawal from a buffer zone established after the 2024 ouster of Bashar al-Assad. These talks seek to revive a 1974 disengagement agreement, with Sharaa expressing hope for broader peace discussions without relinquishing Syria's claim to the Golan Heights. He also reiterated Syria's disinterest in military confrontation with Israel or intervention in Lebanon against Hezbollah, despite suggestions from US President Donald Trump. Sharaa emphasized supporting the Lebanese government in disarming Hezbollah to prevent regional conflict.
