Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said Damascus is working toward a security agreement with Israel, outlining what he presented as Syria’s current approach to a sensitive regional issue. He made the remarks in an interview with Al Jazeera.
His comments suggest Syria is framing its position around security arrangements rather than a broader military posture. The statement centers on Damascus pursuing an understanding with Israel on security matters, though no further details were provided in the available report.
Al-Sharaa also addressed Lebanon, saying Syria would not pursue military intervention there. That position points to a more restrained approach on Lebanon, in contrast to direct involvement.
Taken together, the remarks present Syria’s policy as focused on security coordination with Israel and avoiding military action in Lebanon. The interview highlights how Damascus is publicly describing its priorities on two of the region’s most closely watched files.
