Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa says Damascus is pursuing a security agreement with Israel, according to separate reports citing his comments. Speaking to Al Jazeera, al-Sharaa said Syria is seeking a security deal with Israel and linked the discussion to broader regional stability concerns. He also warned that Lebanon could face “chaos,” describing risks in the context of regional tensions.
Legit.ng reports similar claims, saying al-Sharaa described talks with Israel on a security arrangement. In that account, he emphasizes Syria’s position on the Golan Heights and denies that Syria has military plans in Lebanon. Both sources present the remarks as part of Syria’s efforts to engage on security matters while addressing territorial issues.
The reports do not provide details on the timing, terms, or any official confirmation from Israeli authorities. They also do not outline specific mechanisms for how a security deal would be implemented. The statements nonetheless indicate that al-Sharaa is signaling openness to negotiations while simultaneously stressing Syria’s territorial claims and publicly rejecting allegations of intended military involvement in Lebanon.
