President Donald Trump informed President Ahmed al-Sharaa that he is giving Syria and Israel one month to reach an agreement. “Trump told Sharaa that he had given Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a month to finalise the security deal with Damascus,” a source familiar with the call between the US and Syrian leaders told Middle East Eye. Israel has offered to withdraw from Syria if Damascus agrees to allow Tel Aviv to use its airspace to strike Iran. For over a decade, Syria controlled an autonomous region in eastern Syria with American support. Following the call, Trump told reporters that he had “a great conversation” with “the highly respected president of Syria.”
