DAMASCUS: Syrian Arab Republic President Ahmed Al-Sharaa said the Middle East region is going through a sensitive phase, stressing that the change in Syria represents a positive opportunity for the region and that most countries had benefited from this transformation.
In a special interview with Al-Mashhad TV, Al-Sharaa said some Lebanese parties remain bound by outdated assumptions despite the major challenges facing Lebanon, noting that the country is enduring a severe crisis and a narrowing of political solutions.
The president emphasized that Syria has presented a different approach to resolving the situation, explaining that discussions with the US focused on ending the war, addressing its negative repercussions on both Lebanon and Syria, and pursuing economic, political, and social solutions capable of supporting long-term stability.
Al-Sharaa stressed that ending the current situation in Lebanon requires innovative approaches rather than traditional solutions, adding that US President Donald Trump has expressed concern over developments in Lebanon and is seeking ways to halt the conflict.
He noted that comments regarding Syria’s role were misunderstood, leading to inaccurate interpretations about possible Syrian military involvement.
