Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa warned that Israel's recent military actions, including strikes near the presidential palace, risk alienating U.S. allies and escalating regional tensions. Speaking to "60 Minutes" and at the UN, al-Sharaa, who recently had sanctions lifted, compared the Israeli strikes to an attack on the White House. He called for a security agreement with Israel, including the return of seized land and UN peacekeeping, while Israel confirmed ongoing negotiations.
