Israel sees Sykes-Picot borders as 'meaningless', US envoy Tom Barrack says

US special envoy Tom Barrack stated that Israel views the established Sykes-Picot borders in the Middle East as meaningless. According to Barrack, Israel possesses the “capacity or the desire” to potentially take over Lebanon and Syria. He also revealed that Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa will not sign the Abraham Accords with Israel. Additionally, the envoy alluded to deeply strained ties between Egypt and Israel, stating they are no longer cooperating or communicating effectively.
