The newly established Syrian administration is signaling a desire for peace with Israel. Following the recent political upheaval, Governor Maher Marwan has conveyed that Syria harbors no hostilities toward Israel and understands its security concerns. This gesture comes amid Israel's military operations in Syria, aimed at neutralizing strategic military capacities and securing a buffer zone.
Israel currently controls a significant portion of Syrian territory and has faced criticism for its interventions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed a willingness to maintain constructive relations with the new Syrian leadership, provided they cease support for hostile groups. The Syrian regime, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, has committed to respecting the 1974 disengagement agreement and is open to the re-establishment of UN forces in the Golan Heights.
Despite the absence of formal diplomatic relations, the change in Syria's leadership presents a potential historical opportunity for mutual recognition. However, the power vacuum left by the Assad regime's fall could also lead to instability and the resurgence of extremist factions. The international community watches closely, as both nations navigate this delicate transition. Syria's war-tired population hopes for a future free from conflict, with aspirations for peaceful coexistence.
