Exclusive: Washington backs Israel-Syria peace efforts
Shafaq News/ The United States continues to support efforts to establish long-term stability between Israel and Syria, a State Department spokesperson confirmed exclusively to Shafaq News. 'Efforts that lead to lasting stability between Israel and Syria remain a priority,' the spokesperson said, adding that 'stability and peace in Syria serve the security interests of all parties.' When questioned about Israeli airstrikes on Syrian territory, the spokesperson referred inquiries to Israeli authorities. 'Questions regarding military operations should be directed to the Israeli authorities.' The statement comes amid reports of direct communication between Syrian and Israeli officials aimed at reducing tensions and preventing a wider confrontation along the border. In an interview published in the Jewish Journal, Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara expressed support for ending cross-border hostilities with Israel, noting that 'prosperity cannot thrive in an atmosphere of fear.' He also highlighted the potential for cooperation on shared security challenges, reflecting a shift in the regional landscape. Since the collapse of the previous government, southern Syria has seen increasing instability, including Israeli patrols in Quneitra province and the establishment of new checkpoints between Khan Arnabah and Jaba. Al-Shara called for a return to the 1974 disengagement agreement with Israel, describing it as 'a fundamental safeguard for mutual restraint and the protection of civilians, particularly the Druze communities in the Golan Heights.'

Syrian Transitional President Ahmad Al-Shara Arrives in Paris for Landmark Visit - Jordan News
In his first official visit to a Western country, Syria's transitional president Ahmad Al-Shara arrived in Paris on Wednesday for high-level talks with French President Emmanuel Macron, amid a complex mix of geopolitical stakes, controversy, and scrutiny. اضافة اعلان According to an official source from the Syrian Ministry of Information quoted by AFP, the visit will focus on several key issues including reconstruction, economic cooperation—particularly in energy and aviation—and regional security challenges, including Israeli strikes on Syrian territory and Syria's relations with Lebanon. Controversy Over Al-Shara's Past Al-Shara, a former leader of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, which evolved from Syria's al-Qaeda affiliate, remains subject to a UN travel ban, though France is believed to have secured an exemption for this visit. The visit has stirred political backlash in France, particularly from the right and far-right: Marine Le Pen (National Rally) condemned Macron's move, labeling Al-Shara a "jihadist" and expressing "shock and outrage." Laurent Wauquiez, parliamentary head of The Republicans, called the decision a "serious mistake." The French Alawite community has called for protests, citing allegations of genocide and ethnic cleansing during recent sectarian violence. Macron's Balancing Act The Élysée Palace emphasized that France is fully aware of Al-Shara's past and does not intend to tolerate impunity. A joint press conference is expected after their meeting. Macron aims to support "a free, sovereign, and stable Syria that respects all components of its society,' according to an official statement. French officials also stressed concerns over the potential for renewed sectarian violence, particularly after clashes in March that killed 1,700 people, many of them Alawites. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot defended the engagement, warning that refusing dialogue with the transitional authorities would be irresponsible, potentially paving the way for ISIS's resurgence. He cited concerns over terrorism, migration, drug trafficking, and Lebanon's future, all closely tied to Syrian stability. Push to Lift Sanctions Al-Shara is also expected to press for lifting international sanctions—especially U.S. sanctions—that continue to paralyze the war-torn Syrian economy, where 90% of the population lives in poverty according to the UN. While France supports easing certain EU sanctions, it maintains that now is not the time to remove Al-Shara from the UN Security Council's sanctions list.
