# US Congressmen Reveal Syrian Leader's Stance on Abraham Accords

Two US congressmen, Cory Mills (R-Florida) and Martin Stutzman (R-Indiana), have revealed that Syrian leader Ahmed Al-Sharaa expressed openness to joining the Abraham Accords and normalizing relations with Israel during separate meetings with them last month. According to the congressmen, Al-Sharaa requested guarantees that Israel would cease bombing Syria, halt fueling sectarian divisions, and engage in negotiations over the Golan Heights.

*Conditions for Normalization*

- *Ceasefire*: Israel must stop bombing Syria.

- *Sectarian divisions*: Israel should not fuel sectarian divisions in Syria.

- *Golan Heights negotiations*: Israel and Syria should engage in negotiations over the Golan Heights.

*Abraham Accords Background*

The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, marked a significant shift in Middle Eastern politics, with several Arab countries normalizing relations with Israel. The Accords aim to promote economic cooperation, peace, and stability in the region ¹.

*Potential Impact*

If Syria joins the Abraham Accords, it would be a major breakthrough in regional politics, potentially leading to increased stability and recognition of Israel's sovereignty. The congressmen emphasized the significance of this development, stating it could lead to sustained stability in the region and further recognition of Israel's protection.

*Syrian Leader's Vision*

Al-Sharaa reportedly aims to repair Syria's strained relations with the West and Arab countries. According to Stutzman, Al-Sharaa claims to have expelled Hezbollah and Iranian forces from Syria and is engaging with Qatari, Saudi, and Emirati officials to boost trade.
