Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa delivered a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, calling on Israel to withdraw from the occupied Golan Heights and accusing it of 500 air strikes, more than 1,200 incursions, and 300 detentions in Syrian territory. Al-Sharaa, who came to power in 2024 after overthrowing Bashar al-Assad’s regime, emphasized Syria's post-war recovery efforts, including the return of about 3.5 million refugees and displaced people, while urging international support for a 1974 agreement that established a UN-supervised separation zone between Israeli and Syrian forces.

Story summary
At the United Nations General Assembly, Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa called for Israel to withdraw from internationally recognized Syrian territory, specifically highlighting the occupied Golan Heights, which Syria considers inseparable from its sovereignty. Al-Sharaa asserted that Israeli actions undermine Syria's security and post-civil war recovery efforts. He detailed over 500 air strikes, more than 1,200 incursions, and nearly 300 detentions by Israel since he took power in 2024 after overthrowing Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Al-Sharaa warned that such aggressions are reminiscent of a past era thought to be long gone, emphasizing Syria's rejection of Israeli attempts to impose new facts on the ground.
