Sharaa says Israeli demands for demilitarised zone puts Syria in 'dangerous' position
NegativeWorld Affairs

- Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa warned that Israel's persistent demand for a demilitarised zone in southern Syria could escalate tensions between the two nations, potentially leading to a 'dangerous place'. This statement comes amid ongoing Israeli military operations in the region, including recent airstrikes that have resulted in significant casualties.
- The insistence on a demilitarised zone reflects Israel's strategic interests in the Golan Heights, an area it occupies, and raises concerns about the security and sovereignty of Syria. Al-Sharaa's comments highlight the precarious situation for Syria, which is already grappling with internal conflicts and external pressures.
- The situation underscores a pattern of escalating violence and military incursions by Israel into Syrian territory, which have drawn international condemnation. The recent Israeli operations have resulted in civilian casualties and have been labeled as 'war crimes' by Syrian officials, further complicating the already fraught relations between the two countries and raising fears of broader regional instability.
