Syria says Israeli strikes to be a key focus of Sharaa’s meeting in Paris with Macron
2025-05-07
[IsraelTimesj French President Emmanuel Macron will host a meeting with Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Paris on Wednesday, the French presidency says.
First European government to invite him over for tea…
During the meeting, Macron will reaffirm France’s support for the construction of a “free, stable and sovereign Syria that respects all the components of the Syrian society,” the statement says.
That doesn’t sound anything like HTS’s planned caliphate…
The visit, the first for Sharaa to a European country since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, is expected to address several security challenges faced by the new Syrian government, with particular emphasis on the repeated Israeli attacks on Syria’s sovereignty, according to the state-run Syrian news agency SANA.
France has no influence over Israel, but the two can whine at each other, I guess.
Sharaa, in February, received an invitation from Macron to visit France.
