President Trump said Syria is advancing after US policy changes and urged Israel to keep open dialogue with Damascus to avoid disrupting the country’s political and economic progress.

US President Donald Trump called on Israel to maintain dialogue with the Syrian state and not to interfere with the country’s efforts to progress.

In a post on Truth Social on Monday, the President claimed that “the United States is very satisfied with the results displayed, through hard work and determination, in the country of Syria. We are doing everything within our power to make sure the Government of Syria continues to do what was intended, which is substantial, in order to build a true and prosperous country.

According to Trump, “One of the things that has helped them greatly was my termination of very strong and biting sanctions – I believe this was truly appreciated by Syria, its leadership, and its people!”

He added that “it is 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. The new President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is working diligently to make sure good things happen, and that both Syria and Israel will have a long and prosperous relationship together.

“This is a historic opportunity, and adds to the success, already attained, for peace in the Middle East!” the president concluded.

Trump’s post comes as US Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack met with President al-Sharaa in Damascus.

A short time later, President Trump held a phone conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to the Prime Minister’s office, the two leaders emphasized in their conversation the importance and commitment to disarming Hamas and demilitarizing the Gaza Strip, and discussed expanding the peace agreements.

President Trump invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to a meeting at the White House in the near future.
