US envoy: We are looking for peace between Syria and Israel

The opening ceremony of the US ambassador’s residence in Damascus was held on Thursday with the US flag being raised in the building, according to ISNA.

The ceremony was also attended by Syrian Interim Secretary of State Asad al -Shaybani and US Special Envoy Thomas Barack to Syria, and the US flag was raised by Barack, according to Sana News Agency.

US President Donald Trump appointed Barack as his special envoy to Syria on Wednesday night.

At the end of the ceremony, two sides emphasized the importance of gradual confidence, expanding cooperation horizons and strengthening consultations on various issues in the interests of the Syrian nation and strengthening stability throughout the region.

The US ambassador’s residence in Damascus was opened today, with no official statement on the reopening of the embassy in Syria yet.

After the ceremony, Barack went to the Syrian insurgency leader Abu Muhammad al -Julani.

“President Donald Trump will announce that Syria is not a country of terrorism,” Barack said.

The US envoy to Syria added: “Trump’s approach is that the Syrian government should not interfere with non -interference.”

“Washington is seeking peace between Syria and Israel, and this is a problem, but work begins with dialogue,” he said.

“I think we need to start with a non -rape agreement between Syria and Israel and talking about the borders,” Barack said.

“We will strive to expand trade in Syria to get rid of the consequences of sanctions,” he said in an interview with Al -Arabiya. The Trump administration wants the current Syrian government to be empowered.

Barack claims that “President Trump is seeking a definitive destruction of ISIS in Syria.”

“It is possible to solve all the problems between Syria and Israel through dialogue,” the US official said.

“There are four types of US sanctions and Trump will lift administrative sanctions,” Barack said.
