The new Syrian leader, Ahmad Al-Sharaa has said that his country would not engage Israel in any battle even though Israel is occupying a portion of Syrian land.
Al-Sharaa led the Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, a rebel group that usurped the former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. His rebel group collaborated with others to take over Damascus and a number of other cities. He has however made it clear that his country would not go into conflict with Israel.
He said, “Our goals are clear and our plans are ready for construction and development in Syria,” he said on Saturday. “We are not going to get into a conflict with Israel.”
Al-Sharaa said that his group are in contact with Western embassies and “in discussions with Britain to restore its representation in Damascus,” nothing at the same time that they gave Russia a chance to reconsider their relationship with the Syrian people, and that they have “no hostility towards Iranian society.”
According to Kuwait Times, Al-Sharaa added that his group plans to address the systematic destruction practised by the regime of former president Bashar Al-Assad as it tries to restore governance in Syria. “Damascus is lagging in all aspects of what we have achieved in Idlib Governorate,” he said. “Based on our administrative experience in Idlib, we will advance in the rest of the country’s governorates.”
