Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa during a panel discussion moderated by veteran researcher @Charles_Lister at the Middle East Institute in New York: 📌 We activated diplomatic efforts to engage in dialogue with Israel. 📌 Any partition of Syria would harm neighboring countries and destabilize regional security. 📌 Transitional justice is underway, and remnants of the former regime are being prosecuted. 📌 The unity of Syria lies at the core of our security stability policy. 📌 The mistakes in Sweida were made by all sides, and our choice is reconciliation. 📌 Washington can help integrate the Kurds into the Syrian armed forces. 📌 Israel must accept the deployment of UN forces, as stipulated in the 1974 agreement. 📌 It is in no one’s interest for Syria to return to the previous state of affairs.
