Syrian interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa addressed the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, becoming the first Syrian leader to do so in nearly 60 years. Al-Sharaa, who ousted Bashar al-Assad in December after a rebel-led offensive, declared Syria was “reclaiming its rightful place among nations” following decades of dictatorship. He voiced solidarity with Gaza and criticized Israel’s threats, while ongoing negotiations seek a security deal tied to the Golan Heights. His speech drew large public viewings across Syria.
