Golan Heights will 'remain Syrian', President Ahmed al-Sharaa vows at UN
Al-Sharaa said Syria will not cede the territory and cited 500 airstrikes and more than 1,200 incursions by Israel, according to his UN remarks.
- On Wednesday, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa criticized Israel's military policy at the United Nations, citing 500 airstrikes and more than 1,200 incursions since December 8, 2024, while demanding Israeli forces withdraw to pre-December positions.
- Prior security talks between Syria and Israel had reached "almost 90%" agreement, but al-Sharaa stated at an Atlantic Council event on Tuesday that negotiations stalled after Israel introduced new conditions.
- Recalling his meeting with President Donald Trump, al-Sharaa quipped, "Why don't you give New Jersey to the Israelis?" and argued the October 7, 2023, attack should not dictate Israel's policy toward Syria.
- The United Nations maintains the plateau is occupied Syrian territory, with Security Council Resolution 497 declaring Israel's 1981 annexation "null and void," as the U.S. pushes for deconfliction arrangements.
- Israel defends its operations as necessary to keep southern Syria demilitarized, while al-Sharaa's government works to build new security infrastructure, leaving analysts to monitor whether negotiations can proceed or tensions escalate.
