The Syrian government has officially rejected joining the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords, under which Israel normalized relations with several Arab states, emphasizing that “such agreements do not apply to a country whose land remains under occupation,” referring to the Syrian Golan Heights occupied by Israel since 1967.<\/span><\/span>
\nThis stance was communicated by Damascus in an official response to the U.S. administration, according to Syria TV.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In a related development, Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa told The New York Times that Syria “will not allow its territory to be used to threaten neighboring countries,” expressing openness to a regional dialogue aimed at ensuring stability. However, he ruled out any normalization with Israel “as long as the occupation persists,” as he put it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

President Al-Sharaa also stated that the issue of foreign fighters in Syria “requires careful negotiations,” expressing willingness to distinguish between “those posing a threat to U.S. security and others,” and even hinted at offering citizenship to long-term residents, especially those married to Syrian nationals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Despite Damascus’ firm stance against normalization, U.S. Congressman Cory Mills, who met with President Al-Sharaa in Damascus, revealed a “Syrian openness to security cooperation with Israel,” particularly in the fields of border control and arms smuggling prevention. Speaking to Alaraby TV, Mills said that Damascus is exploring a “comprehensive deal” that would involve lifting sanctions in exchange for security guarantees.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. administration has not officially commented on Syria’s response, though reports suggest that indirect negotiations between the two sides could accelerate in the coming weeks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Abraham Accords were signed in 2020 to normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, with the goal of expanding to include other countries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
