Syria's al-Sharaa promises peace and unity in face of Israeli aggression
"They justify everything, using their security concerns, and they take October 7 and extrapolate it to everything that is happening around them, he said. Israel has become a country that is in a fight against ghosts. Since the the Bashar al-Assad regime fell in December 2024, Israel has carried out frequent air strikes across Syria, killing hundreds of people, while also conducting ground operations in the south. Last month, Israeli forces killed at least 13 people in the Damascus countryside town of Beit Jinn."
"Al-Sharaa said his administration had worked to de-escalate tensions with Israel since he assumed office, emphasising that we sent positive messages regarding regional peace and stability. We've said very frankly that Syria will be a country of stability, and we are not concerned with being a country that exports conflict, including to Israel, he said. However, in return, Israel has met us with extreme violence, and Syria has suffered massive violations of our airspace. Al-Sharaa said Israel must withdraw to where they were before the fall of al-Assad, and preserve the 1974"
Syria accuses Israel of heightening regional tensions by fabricating external threats to justify expanded military action and to divert attention from massacres in Gaza. Israeli air strikes and ground operations across Syria have killed hundreds, advanced deeper into Syrian territory, established checkpoints, and led to illegal detentions. Syria reports at least 13 killed in Beit Jinn and massive violations of Syrian airspace. Syrian authorities say they sought to de-escalate and promote regional stability, commit to holding elections within five years, and demand Israel withdraw to pre-December 2024 positions and preserve the 1974 arrangements.
