As Syria's new government seeks international legitimacy, European and Arab leaders are rushing to meet with the country's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa. While Western countries seem open to giving the new government a chance, Israel is urging caution and warning against overlooking the potential dangers of Sharaa's leadership. Israeli officials argue that the new government is an Islamist group that poses a threat to minorities and seeks unified control over Syria. However, Sharaa and his government have emphasized their commitment to peace, religious coexistence, and cordial relations with Israel. Israel has expressed its desire for correct ties with the new regime but warns that it will respond forcefully if its security is threatened.
