Trump Asks Syria to JOIN Abraham Accords, Offers Sanctions Relief | Big Push For Syria-Israel Ties

During his visit to Saudi Arabia, President Trump met with Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, marking the first such meeting in 25 years. Trump urged Syria to join the Abraham Accords with Israel, expel foreign militants, and take control of ISIS camps run by Kurdish forces. In return, Trump announced the lifting of crippling U.S. sanctions, offering Syria a chance at economic recovery.

Israel HELPS Pro-ISIS Group in Gaza Clash? Airstrike KILLS Hamas Fighters |IDF, Proxies to End Hamas

In a shocking turn, Israeli forces launched a drone airstrike in Gaza that targeted Hamas fighters—just as they clashed with an ISIS-linked faction. The strike killed four Hamas members and marked the first time Israel is seen directly aiding a Daesh-affiliated group. Netanyahu admitted to arming anti-Hamas militias in Gaza following a leak by Avigdor Lieberman. The targeted group, led by Yasser Abu Shabab, has long-standing ISIS ties. Netanyahu defended the move, claiming it helps save Israeli soldiers’ lives—raising new questions about covert alliances and proxy warfare in Gaza. #Israel #Hamas #ISIS #Gaza #MiddleEastConflict #IDF #Netanyahu #Airstrike #ProxyWar #Daesh #AbuShabab #HAMAS #HamasVsISIS #LiebermanLeak #NetanyahuSpeech Also Read Israel Retrieves Body of Thai Hostage as Military Actions Result in 95 Fatalities in Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-retrieves-body-of-thai-hostage-amid-gaza-conflict-011-4175299.html?ref=DMDesc Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~

Trump Lifts ‘Brytal’, ‘Crippling’ Syria Sanctions | Trump Unlocks Syria’s Economy After Years Of War

In a stunning reversal of longstanding U.S. foreign policy, former President Donald Trump has lifted key sanctions on Syria, ending years of crippling economic isolation. The move comes as part of Trump’s promised Middle East shift, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and the rise of a new interim government in Damascus led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a former rebel commander. The U.S. Treasury and State Department jointly announced a sweeping waiver of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, unlocking billions in potential investment and opening Syria’s oil, electricity, and financial sectors to international engagement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared the relief vital to restoring basic services like water, energy, and sanitation. #SyriaSanctions #TrumpSyria #SanctionsLifted #TrumpMiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #SyriaNews #TrumpNews #DonaldTrump #SyriaCrisis #TrumpAdministration #AssadFall #Damascus #HTS #PostWarSyria #MiddleEastPolitics #CaesarAct #SanctionsRelief #USPolicyShift #BreakingNews #HistoricMove Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-is-new-syrian-regime-hunting-down-and-killing-alawites-amid-escalating-sectarian-violence-in-cou-4090547.html?ref=DMDesc Syria On Boil: Over 1,000 Dead As Alawite Minority Targeted In 'Revenge Killings' By Current Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syria-on-boil-over-1-000-dead-as-alawite-minority-targeted-in-revenge-killings-by-current-regime-4090369.html?ref=DMDesc
