Syria FM Calls for Comprehensive Security Agreement with Israel
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani has called for a comprehensive security agreement with Israel, urging a return to the 1974 accord and demanding Israeli withdrawal from territories seized since December 2024. In an exclusive interview with Euronews, coinciding with high-level political dialogue between Damascus and Brussels, Al-Shaibani emphasized that normalization of diplomatic relations must not occur under military pressure or provocation. He criticized recent Israeli actions, including strikes on military and civilian infrastructure, as threats to Syria’s stability. Since President Ahmed al-Sharaa ousted Bashar al-Assad in 2024, Israel has set aside the previous buffer zone agreement, citing self-defense. The Foreign Minister also highlighted the economic fragility of post-war Syria, warning that regional conflicts, particularly involving Iran, hinder reconstruction efforts. With sanctions lifted by the EU and the Trump administration, Damascus is seeking international assistance to rebuild its economy and restore regional partnerships. The remarks underscore the complex interplay between security negotiations, territorial disputes, and economic recovery in the aftermath of Syria's civil war.
