New Damascus leaders want peace with “Israel” …
US Secretary of State Donald Trump’s decision to reduce the sanctions imposed on Damascus was the day when new Damascus leaders would like “Israel” during a meeting with his Syrian opponent Assad al -Shaybani, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio Rubio said on Wednesday.
Rubio Al -Shyaibani met in Turgie to discuss ways to progress in normalizing the relationship between the US administration and the Syrian interim leader Ahmed al -Sharah.
“We believe Syria is quiet and stable. This is one of the most important aspects of development in the region for a long time. We want to do everything we can to achieve this,” Rubio told reporters after negotiation.
Israel has expressed distrust of Shariah, and continues to strike in Syria, as did the former President Bashar al -Assad, who was thrown on December eight.
But Rubio, like Trump, said that the new Syrian leadership would be open to normalize with “Israel”, which is the main priority for the United States.
“They expressed their interest in peace with all neighbors, including Israel,” said Rubio, who had a telephone conversation with the Israeli prime minister on Thursday.
However, no public indicators have been issued by new Syrian authorities.
In a statement from the Syrian Foreign Ministry, al -Sai Bani discussed “In the presence of the Turkish Foreign Minister in the Andalya, the details of the US sanctions and” the way to improve the relations between Damascus and Washington and the development of a strategic relationship between the two countries. “
Rubio said the Syrian leadership “seeks a plural society that all the elements of the Syrian society can live together.”
Syrians expressed “foreign militants, terrorists and the interest of outsiders who could be stabilized the country.”
The Syrians asked, “They asked us to help us, so now we try to help them.”
He acknowledged that “the road is long,” and he attracted attention to the existence of a “historical chance.”
In Antalya, South Turgie, who participated in the NATO meeting, Rubio met with senior officials of three countries with Al -Shyaibani and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
Ankara is making close ties with new Syrian authorities because it was one of the main supporters of the attack that lifted Assad.
Since Assad’s downfall, Turkey has given its full support to the Syrian administration, and has provided practical and military assistance in fighting “terrorist groups”.
When he visited Riyadh on Tuesday, Trump announced that he would raise sanctions imposed on Damascus from Assad’s era, saying he wanted to “give Syria” an opportunity.
In Riyadh, Trump met Syrian interim President Ahmed al -Shara. (Kingdom)
