Controversy in New York over Syrian president's remarks on Russia and Israel
The article covers Syrian President Ahmad Shah's participation in the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. He emphasized Syria's direction towards understanding with Russia regarding the future of military presence, by reducing the number of Russian sites from approximately 170 to two bases—namely Hmeimim Base in Latakia and Tartous—with the goal of utilizing them for training the Syrian army. He also stressed that any future foreign presence must be approved by the Syrian parliament and respect Syrian sovereignty. Regarding relations with Israel, he indicated that Syria favors a diplomatic solution despite ongoing attacks, and that negotiations with Israel have reached advanced stages. He called for the formation of an international committee to oversee security concerns. Shah affirmed that the Golan Heights are Syrian territory and rejected any attempts to hand them over, clarifying that Syrian policy focuses on restoring Syrian rights in the region. A widely shared social media clip showing him browsing his phone inside the General Assembly hall sparked extensive reactions: some viewed it as a violation of privacy, while others considered it a normal human behavior.
