Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested that US President Donald Trump not lift US sanctions on Syria, during Netanyahu’s visit to Washington last month, says an Israeli official. The official says the request was made out of concern that a cross-border attack similar to Hamas’s October 7, 2023, assault, could come from Syria.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the request with the media. The Prime Minister’s Office has not immediately responded to a request for comment on the report.
Trump on Tuesday said he would ease sanctions on Syria and move to restore ties with its new leader. Ed note: Remember that the IDF has been eliminating President Assad's chemical weapon sites along with other types of weapons that will surely be used against Israel in the near future.) (Source)
