Al-Sharaa says no intention to intervene militarily in Lebanon
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has said that Syria has no intention of launching any military intervention into neighboring Lebanon, despite repeated remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump on the issue.
Instead, he told Al-Jazeera that his government is currently discussing ways for Lebanese authorities to overcome the country’s current crisis and steer it towards safety.
Furthermore, al-Sharaa declared Damascus’ firm support for restricting weapons and confining decisions of war and peace exclusively to the Lebanese state.
Al-Sharaa stressed that addressing the Lebanese crisis requires more than just a security approach but a comprehensive solution tackling a range of issues.
He warned that any descent into chaos in Lebanon would have direct and immediate repercussions on Syria, and the potential expansion of the U.S.-Israel war on Iran in the region would lead to a severe regional fall-out.
