Syria's Al-Sharaa Open to Israel Security Deal

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa told Al Jazeera that his country is seeking a security agreement with Israel, a deal that could pave the way for comprehensive peace without compromising Syria's right to the Golan Heights.

In the wide-ranging interview, al-Sharaa also stated that Syria will not intervene militarily in Lebanon.

He praised Turkey and Saudi Arabia for their roles in helping to lift US sanctions on his country.

The overture represents a significant diplomatic shift as Syria seeks to re-engage with the international community.
