"United States President Donald Trump has called on Israel to maintain strong and true dialogue with Syria, adding it is very important that nothing takes place that will interfere with Syria's evolution into a prosperous state. The statement on Truth Social on Monday came days after Israel launched its latest incursion and strikes on Syria, killing 13 people in the countryside outside of Damascus in what the fledgling government of President Ahmed al-Sharaa decried as a war crime."
"In the post, Trump did not specifically reference the Israeli incursion, the latest of a series of operations since Israel expanded its occupation in Syria's south following the toppling of longtime leader Bashar al-Assad in December of last year. Instead, Trump heaped praise on the new Syrian government under al-Sharaa, which has vowed to unify the country following years of civil war that fuelled sectarian distrust."
President Donald Trump called on Israel to maintain strong and true dialogue with Syria and warned that nothing should interfere with Syria's evolution into a prosperous state. The post on Truth Social followed Israeli incursions that killed 13 people near Damascus, an attack the fledgling government of President Ahmed al-Sharaa described as a war crime. Trump did not explicitly reference the specific incursion but praised al-Sharaa and the new government for pledging to unify the country after years of civil war and sectarian distrust. The United States expressed satisfaction with Syria's reported progress, pledged support to help build stability, and characterized al-Sharaa as a regional leader fostering stability and improved relations with Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Trump and received an invitation for a White House visit.
