Syrian President Ahmad Sharae confirmed that negotiations with Israel are nearing an agreement, but Tel Aviv is retreating at the final stages for various reasons. He stated that Damascus is committed to pursuing the diplomatic route, focusing on safeguarding the security and rights of the Syrian people, and considers Israel's withdrawal from occupied territories after the fall of the previous regime as the foundation for any lasting peace. He explained that talks with Israel began over a year ago regarding the Golan Heights, aiming to restore it to Syrian sovereignty, with the possibility of achieving a permanent peace if appropriate security arrangements are reached. Sharae emphasized that the Golan is Syrian land under United Nations recognition, and Syria refuses to relinquish it to any party. Regarding security conditions, he said that Israel continues its attacks on Syria and expands its occupation, despite Damascus's efforts to handle this diplomatically and negotiate with friendly countries, including the United States. He announced that numerous negotiation sessions have taken place, during which Israel retreats approximately 90% of the time as the agreement nears. He also affirmed that Damascus remains committed to its political path, including reviewing laws, attempting to draft a new constitution, and completing the transitional phase, noting that any foreign military bases must operate within laws approved by the People's Assembly. On relations with Israel, he pointed out that direct negotiations have been ongoing for a year over the Golan Heights, emphasizing the insistence on not relinquishing it and rejecting any doubts regarding its status, reaffirming that the Golan is a fixed Syrian issue. Regarding recent events such as the October 7 attacks, he stated that Palestine and the developments in Gaza should not influence Syria's foreign policy toward Israel, stressing the importance of respecting regional security and avoiding escalation. He underscored that regional stability serves the interests of all, including Israel.
