DOHA: Syrian interim President Ahmed Al-Sharaa said Saturday that Israel seeking a demilitarized zone in his country’s south put Syria in a dangerous position, as Israeli forces keep up operations in the area.
Syria has insisted on respecting a 1974 disengagement agreement with Israel “that has held for over 50 years — in one way or another it is a successful agreement,” Sharaa told the Doha Forum, adding that tampering with the deal “and seeking other agreements such as a demilitarised zone... could lead us to a dangerous place.”

DOHA: Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani held a call with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday, as Tehran pressed its missile and drone campaign against Gulf states including Qatar.
Sheikh Mohammed urged “an immediate halt to these attacks,” according to a statement by Qatar’s foreign ministry and accused Tehran of seeking to “harm its neighbors and drag them into a war that is not theirs.”
Al-Thani, who is also Qatari prime minister, said Iran had “struck civilian and residential areas within the State of Qatar” despite Araghchi’s assertion “the Iranian missile attacks were directed at American interests and did not target the State of Qatar.”
