the deal with Israel

on Ahmed al-Sharaa's mind since 2026-07-26

No Escalation, No Signature Either

At the UN he promised reassurance and no escalation with Israel; the security arrangement itself is still unsigned.

saying no escalation is cheaper than agreeing to anything. he wants the quiet without the paperwork that would make it his.

new — UN reassurance without an agreement
