Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has ruled out any Syrian military intervention in Lebanon, stressing that Damascus seeks to contribute to stability through political, diplomatic and economic channels rather than armed involvement.
Speaking in an interview with al-Mashhad TV, al-Sharaa addressed recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, saying that some media outlets had misinterpreted the comments as a call for Syrian intervention in Lebanon.
He stressed that neither Trump nor the U.S. administration had requested a Syrian military role and reaffirmed that Damascus is pursuing political and diplomatic efforts aimed at helping resolve the crisis.
According to al-Sharaa, Syria has presented a proposal to the United States and other international actors calling for an immediate halt to hostilities in Lebanon, followed by a broader political, economic and social process to address the roots of the conflict.
He emphasized that restoring economic ties between Syria and Lebanon would help mitigate the impact of the crisis on both countries.
