Syria’s al-Sharaa calls for unity, accuses Israel of fuelling unrest in south
- On August 17, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa emphasized the need to reunify the country peacefully, dismissed any attempts to divide Syria, and criticized Israel for interfering in the southern region.
- The call came after a week of violent conflict in Sweida starting July 13, triggered by escalating confrontations involving Druze combatants and Sunni Bedouin, which quickly intensified with the involvement of government troops and Israeli military actions.
- Sharaa said Sweida saw violations from all sides, including some by security forces, and that Israel intervenes to weaken Syria and justify interference in southern policies.
- He indicated that talks are underway regarding how to implement the March 10 agreement to integrate Kurdish semi-autonomous institutions, but progress has been stalled due to disagreements between the involved parties.
- Sharaa affirmed Syria faces no risk of division and emphasized the state must hold all violators accountable, suggesting ongoing efforts to restore united governance.
