Syria Faces Perilous Situation as Israel Pushes for Demilitarised Zone, Says Sharaa.
In a stark warning to regional powers, Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa has expressed deep concern over Israel's push for a demilitarised zone in his country. According to Sharaa, this development poses a significant threat to Syria, putting the nation in an "extremely perilous" position.
Sharaa made these remarks at the Doha Forum, underscoring that any tampering with the 1974 disengagement agreement between Israel and Syria, which has held relatively stable for over five decades, could lead to a catastrophic outcome. The Syrian leader stressed that pursuing alternative agreements like a demilitarised zone would only serve to heighten tensions in the region.
The situation remains volatile as Israeli forces continue to maintain their presence in a UN-patrolled buffer zone on the occupied Golan Heights, conducting regular incursions deeper into Syrian territory despite ongoing direct talks between the two sides. The conflicting actions underscore the fragility of the current stalemate and raise concerns about the potential for escalating violence.
The implications of Israel's push for a demilitarised zone are far-reaching, with regional players watching closely to see how this development unfolds. As tensions simmer on the border, Syria remains on high alert, bracing itself for the possibility of an explosive situation spiraling out of control.
