Syrian rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, better known as Abu Mohammed Jolani, said on Saturday that he is not interested in engaging in new conflicts, despite Israel’s seizure of a buffer zone in the occupied Golan Heights and its air force pummelling Syrian military positions with air strikes.

But, he added that “the general exhaustion in Syria after years of war and conflict does not allow us to enter new conflicts”.
