President Ahmed al‑Sharaa has warned that Israeli attacks threaten the fragile recovery process underway in Syria as the country emerges from a prolonged civil war.

In a statement issued this week, al‑Sharaa called for an immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from Syrian territory, arguing that continued military activity would undermine efforts to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure and restore stability.

He condemned the recent strikes, describing them as a violation of Syria’s sovereignty and a setback to peace initiatives that have been negotiated in the post‑war period.

Al‑Sharaa highlighted that the country’s post‑war recovery is delicate, with many communities still grappling with the aftermath of years of conflict. He urged the international community to support Syria’s reconstruction and to respect its territorial integrity.

The president’s remarks come as Syria continues to work toward rebuilding its economy, restoring public services, and fostering reconciliation among its diverse population after the civil war that began in 2011.
