Trump Cautions Israel Against Destabilizing Syria Following Fatal Strikes

US President Donald Trump has urged Israel to refrain from actions that may destabilize Syria, in light of a deadly strike in the southern village of Beit Jin that resulted in 13 casualties. During a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump extended an invitation for him to visit the White House, highlighting the necessity for maintaining constructive dialogue with Syria.

Trump praised Syria’s new leadership under President Ahmed al-Sharaa, noting the country’s efforts toward reconstruction following years of conflict, and the potential for building robust relations with Israel. The two leaders also discussed the expansion of regional peace agreements and underscored the critical need to disarm Hamas and ensure stability in the Gaza Strip.

Despite recent ceasefire efforts, Israel has continued its operations against militant factions in neighboring nations, with the latest strikes targeting affiliates of Hamas and similar groups. Trump reiterated the United States' commitment to supporting Syria’s recovery, emphasizing the overarching goal of establishing enduring peace in the Middle East.

These conversations occur amidst ongoing regional tensions and the US administration’s initiative to enhance security cooperation between Israel and Syria, aiming to avert further conflicts and assist in the reconstruction of the war-impacted region.
