Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al -Shaibani excluded his country’s accession to the Abrahamic agreements, considering that the discussions of normalization with Israel are “difficult.”
Al -Shaibani said in an interview with the American “CNN” news network, that “Israeli strikes after the fall of the Assad regime shocked Syria, which made normalization discussions difficult.”
He added: “The Syrian people were shocked by the Israeli attacks, especially since the Iranian or Hezbollah militias have all left with the former regime.”
In response to a question about the possibility of normalizing relations between Syria and Israel after the military operation, he said: “We do not pose a threat to anyone in the region, including Israel, but the new cooperation and peace policies were met with threats and strikes.”
He added, “So talking about normalization and Abrahamic agreements is a little difficult.”
The minister also criticized Israel to “its obstruction of the Syrian government, when it faced an escalation of sectarian violence in the south,” referring to the endosperm.
When Al -Shaibani was asked about what Israel did specifically during its intervention, he said: “I supported groups outside the law, and this hindered and hindered the Syrian government to solve the problem between the Bedouins and the Druze.”
He added: “What Israel did is more complex, and made the Druze in a very difficult and embarrassing situation.”
Al -Shaibani also considered that “Syria is strong and united will be useful for regional security, and this will benefit Israel.”
On the other hand, the minister expressed the Syrian people welcoming the movements of the United States to lift the sanctions imposed on the country, which were targeting the previous regime.
He said: “The position of the United States since the liberation day (the departure of the Assad regime) towards Syria is a very positive position, and it has met with great support from the Syrian people, including lifting sanctions.”
