'Security agreement with Israel could pave the way for peace, without giving up the Golan'
President of Syria Ahmed al-Sharaa says that his country is working to reach a security agreement with Israel, involving additional countries, which could pave the way for comprehensive peace, without giving up the Golan.'
Assessment
Syria's president is signaling a potential shift in approach by proposing a security agreement with Israel that includes other nations, while explicitly ruling out territorial concessions on the Golan. This creates a diplomatic tension: the offer of peace talks hinges on a precondition Israel has historically rejected. The key question is whether the proposed multinational framework can bridge this gap or if the statement is primarily a public relations move.
