Syria must remain unified, Sharaa tells US Congressman Stutzman
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa is open to normalizing relations with Israel, a Republican congressman who recently visited Syria told The Jerusalem Post.“Sharaa said that he was open to the Abraham Accords, which would put them in good standing with Israel, other Middle Eastern countries, and, of course, the United States,” Republican Indiana Rep. Marlin Stutzman told the Post in an exclusive interview.
Stutzman outlined the Syrian president’s conditions for normalization with Israel – chief among them that Syria must remain a unified and sovereign state.
“Sharaa’s concerns are that the country of Syria would be divided up into regions. He didn’t want to see that happen,” he said. “He wanted to see the country of Syria stay unified. He also mentioned that Israel’s encroachment near the Golan Heights must be addressed, and there should be no further bombings in Syria by Israel. I truly believe he is open to dialogue.”
