Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa publicly refuted claims of planned military intervention in Lebanon, responding to recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump had suggested Syria could take over the fight against Hezbollah, expressing dissatisfaction with Israel’s progress. Al-Sharaa emphasized Syria’s focus on economic cooperation with Lebanon, not military involvement. He stated Damascus is pursuing economic channels between the two countries. The Syrian president’s denial comes as fighting continues between Israel and Hezbollah. Trump’s comments sparked debate regarding potential shifts in regional dynamics and the role of external actors in the conflict. The White House has not yet commented on al-Sharaa’s response.
