Ahmed al-Sharaa, Syria\u2019s interim president, has said that his country can play a constructive role in addressing Lebanon\u2019s crisis by supporting the Lebanese government and facilitating dialogue among the country\u2019s political groups, including Hezbollah.<\/p>\n
The Syrian state news agency SANA reported on Sunday, June 21, that al-Sharaa made the remarks during an interview with Al-Mashhad television.<\/p>\n
He said his previous comments regarding Syria\u2019s potential role in Lebanon had been misunderstood, with some interpreting them as an indication of possible Syrian military intervention in Lebanese affairs.<\/p>\n
Al-Sharaa stressed that Syria seeks to establish economic corridors with Lebanon rather than military routes.<\/p>\n
He referred to the historical trade ties between Damascus and Beirut, as well as between Homs and Tripoli.<\/p>\n
The interim president added that Damascus\u2019 discussions with the United States have focused on ending conflicts and addressing their consequences for both Lebanon and Syria.<\/p>\n
Lebanon has faced severe political, economic, and security crises in recent years. Efforts to reduce tensions and strengthen the country\u2019s state institutions continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahmed al-Sharaa, Syria\u2019s interim president, has said that his country can play a constructive role in addressing Lebanon\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[32],"tags":[672,670,100,93,30035,44354,95,3624,153],"class_list":["post-171408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lebanon","tag-ahmed-al-sharaa","tag-damascus","tag-hezbollah","tag-lebanon","tag-sana","tag-security-crisis","tag-syria","tag-syrian-military","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116791648145118141","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
