Syrian president says he is the 'biggest victim' of ISIS

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa has denied claims he’s part of the Muslim Brotherhood and has said he is the “biggest victim” of ISIS.

According to Report, in comments published Tuesday by Kuwait’s Al-Nahar newspaper, al-Sharaa added that “all nationalist and Islamist ideologies in the region have failed.”

The Syrian president emphasized that any calls for secession within Syria “will remain nothing but dreams,” considering that “solutions with the Kurds and the people of Sweida are only possible within the framework of the country’s unity.”

He affirmed that “the state’s policy is based on tolerance, not revenge.”

As for Israel, al-Sharaa said the relationship is tied exclusively to the return of the Golan Heights and the implementation of the 1974 agreement, stressing that “there can be no talk of a peace deal before that.”
