Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): "Abu Muhammad Al-Jolani" made contradictory statements about negotiations with the Zionist regime in the space of 24 hours.
Al-Jolani, who had previously claimed that he would not negotiate directly with the Zionist regime, said on Wednesday morning: "We are negotiating directly with Israel and have made significant progress towards reaching an agreement."
In an interview with the Washington Post, he stated: "Israel's advances in Syria are not due to security concerns, but rather due to its expansionist ambitions."
The head of the Syrian interim government continued: “Israel must withdraw to the December 8 borders until an agreement is reached with Syria.”
Al-Jolani went on to say: “Discussing the creation of a demilitarized zone in southern Syria will be difficult because some parties may use this area as a launching pad for attacks on Israel.”
He also added: “Syria shares strategic interests with Russia and needs its support in the UN Security Council.”
