"Sharaa warned an international conference in Doha on Saturday that Syria has insisted on respecting a 1974 disengagement agreement with Israel that has held for over 50 years in one way or another it is a successful agreement. Tampering with the deal and seeking other agreements such as a demilitarised zone ... could lead us to a dangerous place with unknown consequences."
"He also said Israel extrapolates its conflict with Hamas militants and justifies aggression in the name of security. Israel has become a country that is in a fight against ghosts, he said. They justify everything using their security concerns and they take 7 October and extrapolate it to everything that has happened around them. Israel had become a country that exports crises, he added."
"Israel's forces pushed into a UN-patrolled buffer zone in the occupied Golan Heights after the fall of Bashar al-Assad a year ago and conduct regular incursions deeper into Syria. The level of insecurity for Syrians in the region south of Damascus is increasing. Since he took power a year ago, Sharaa insisted he has been sending positive messages to Israel regarding regional peace and stability."
Syria accuses Israel of using the Gaza conflict to justify aggression and of exporting crises beyond its borders. Persistent Israeli military actions include more than 1,000 airstrikes and roughly 400 incursions, contributing to rising insecurity south of Damascus. Israeli forces reportedly entered a UN-patrolled buffer zone in the occupied Golan Heights after the fall of Bashar al-Assad and continue regular deeper incursions. Syria emphasizes the 1974 disengagement agreement as a successful accord and warns that altering it or creating a demilitarised zone could produce dangerous, unknown consequences. Syria says it is working with influential countries, including the US, to press for Israeli withdrawal to pre-8 December borders.
