Netanyahu’s buffer zone plan faces Syrian warning, Al-Sharaa says, ‘stick to 1974 ceasefire or...'

Syrian President Al Sharaa issued a sharp warning to Israel on December 6, stressing that Israel must adhere to the 1974 disengagement agreement that governs the ceasefire line in the Golan Heights. He said any attempt by Israel to alter the long standing arrangement would trigger serious consequences. His remarks came amid rising Israeli incursions and air strikes inside Syria, as well as the continued presence of Israeli forces on Mount Hermon. Sharaa demanded that Israel return to pre December 8, 2024 lines and accused Netanyahu of trying to impose a buffer zone deep inside Syrian territory. The warning coincides with ongoing US backed efforts to broker a non aggression pact between the two countries.
