This came in statements published by the Kuwaiti newspaper ‘Al-Nahar’ today, Tuesday, in which it pointed to Al-Sharaa’s emphasis on rejecting interference in Lebanon’s affairs. The Syrian president stressed the necessity of adopting a policy of mutual benefit among Lebanese components and between Syria and Lebanon, indicating that this equation is better than the conflicts that lead to everyone’s loss.
The Syrian President, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, clarified that the Lebanese should only consider political solutions to their problems and stay away from any other solutions, urging all parties not to support one side at the expense of another.
Regarding warnings about the division of Syria, Al-Sharaa said that the formation of the government revealed Damascus’s rejection of the quota methodology and its replacement with participation, indicating that the Syrian people view federalism as a step towards maintaining the components’ uniqueness.
Concerning the possibilities of normalization with Israel, Al-Sharaa stated that the countries that joined the normalization agreements do not have occupied lands, adding: ‘The relationship with Israel passes through the return of the Golan and the 1974 agreement.’ He continued: ‘After that, we can consider achieving a permanent peace agreement if possible,’ noting that he does not see ‘this happening soon given what is happening in the Gaza Strip and the presence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.’
He continued: ‘For those dreaming of secession, whatever cover they use, this is a dream that will not come true,’ noting that ‘there are several reasons for this, including that this decision is not made by a few but is a decision for the Syrian people who reject division.’ He added: ‘Also, all regions of Syria have different components, and no one can claim otherwise,’ adding: ‘Everyone should know that the dream of secession is rejected by the Syrian people and will lead to much bloodshed without resulting in anything positive at all.’
The Syrian President, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, warned of ‘projects to create proxy wars on Syrian soil,’ pointing out that ‘they have been thwarted.’
Regarding the situation in Sweida, Al-Sharaa said: ‘Sweida is highly connected to Damascus, and mistakes have been made by all parties, and the solution is not military,’ stressing the ‘need to calm the situation in preparation for resolving it amicably and within the unity of Syrian territory.’
He continued: ‘The same applies to the Kurds, who were oppressed in previous eras, and now their rights are guaranteed within the one homeland, and the armed forces can be integrated into the Syrian army,’ adding: ‘All solutions except secession can be discussed at the negotiation table.’
