"President Trump and his team have repeatedly sided with Syria's government in disputes with Israel- the only country in the region for which that's the case. On Monday, Trump posted on Truth Social in support of al-Sharaa and said it was "very important that Israel maintain a strong and true dialogue with Syria, and that nothing takes place that will interfere with Syria's evolution into a prosperous State.""
"Israeli forces conducting a raid less than 10 miles into Syrian territory on Friday came under fire from unknown gunmen after arresting suspected militants, with six Israeli soldiers injured, according to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). While trying to extract its forces, the IDF unleashed airstrikes that killed 13 Syrians, many of them civilians. The raid and airstrikes - which took place beyond the portion of Syrian territory Israel has been occupying since the fall of the Assad regime - enraged the Syrian government."
"The U.S. officials told Axios the White House did not receive prior notice of the Israeli operation, and that the Israelis didn't warn Syria through military channels as they have in past cases. Israeli officials claimed the suspects were were part of a group affiliated with Hamas and Hezbollah and had planned attacks against Israel, and that Israel informed the Syrians through intelligence channels."
President Trump and his team publicly aligned with Syria's government and urged Israel to maintain dialogue and avoid actions that could hinder Syrian prosperity. Israeli forces raided less than 10 miles into Syrian territory, came under fire, and six Israeli soldiers were injured; during extraction IDF airstrikes killed 13 Syrians, many civilians. The strikes occurred beyond areas Israel has occupied since the fall of the Assad regime, enraging the Syrian government and prompting calls for retaliation. U.S. officials say the White House received no prior notice of the Israeli operation and that Israel did not warn Syria through military channels. Israeli officials asserted the suspects were affiliated with Hamas and Hezbollah and had planned attacks.
