The article covers statements by Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharq regarding peace negotiations with Israel. He emphasized that Damascus is consistently approaching an agreement, but Israel retreats in its final stages for various reasons. He clarified that protecting the security and rights of Syrians, as well as the withdrawal of occupied forces, form the foundation of any lasting peace. Damascus continues its diplomatic efforts despite Israeli attacks on Syrian territory, including occupation and incursions by forces. Al-Sharq affirmed that the negotiations concern the return of territories occupied by Israel after the fall of the previous regime, especially the Golan Heights, with Damascus insisting that these remain Syrian lands in accordance with UN resolutions. He mentioned that security arrangements and negotiations on these are a primary issue before discussing permanent peace. He also stressed that Israel's continued attacks, especially after the events of October 7, do not ensure security and threaten regional stability. He called for respecting the security of all parties and for a change in Israeli policies. Al-Sharq reaffirmed Syria’s pursuit of the withdrawal of foreign forces, improving relations with the international community, and developing ties with neighboring countries. He emphasized that the problem is not with Syria itself, but with the Israeli occupation, and that Trump's reference to sovereignty over the Golan is illegal. Moreover, he pointed out that Syria will not allow any illegal foreign military presence on its territory, and that its efforts are focused on preserving national sovereignty and maintaining a unified military force, while continuing cooperation with Russia and reducing foreign military presence. He noted that prospects for progress in negotiations depend on achieving progress in Israeli withdrawals from occupied lands. Syria remains committed to pursuing peace based on its rights and lasting stability, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding Syrian rights before any agreement with Israel.
