Al-Assad: We can establish relations with Israel in these …

Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad stated that the war in his country is not over yet, saying: “As long as there are terrorists occupying some areas of our country and committing various kinds of crimes, assassinations and other crimes, the war has not finished, and I think its operators are keen for it to last a long time. That’s what we believe. ” .

Al-Assad clarified, during an interview with the Russian agency “Sputnik”, that “peace for Syria is related to the right and it is our land”, indicating that it is possible to establish relations with “Israel” only “when we recover our land” .

He continued: “Our position has been very clear since the beginning of the peace talks in the 1990s, that is, about 3 decades ago, when we said that peace for Syria is about rights, and our right is our land. We can only have normal relations with Israel when we get our land back. The question is very simple. ” .

Al-Assad also noted that “holding talks with Israel is possible when it is ready, but it is not and it was not ready at all,” adding: “We have not seen any official of the Israeli system willing to take a step towards peace. Therefore, in theory yes, but in practice. ” So far the answer is no. “

He stressed that “Syria is not currently conducting any negotiations with Israel,” and said: “No, there are no negotiations at all, nothing at all.”

Al-Assad exposed himself to the statements of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, about his previous intention to liquidate him, saying that this is a reflection of the US policy based on assassinations and liquidations, explaining that the United States occupies “our land while they support terrorists, and that’s why this is expected … even if we don’t have any. ” Information must be obvious “.
