President Trump underscored the “very important” need for “nothing” to impede Syria’s transformation “into a prosperous state.”

These remarks from the former commander-in-chief follow an Israeli operation in Syria just days prior.

On Truth Social, President Trump asserted, “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. 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!”

Trump further added, “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!”

Last week, the IDF reported that troops were injured during an operation in Syria.

An X post from the IDF specified that “IDF troops conducted an operation to apprehend suspects from the Jaama Islamiya terrorist organization operating in the Beit Jinn area of southern Syria. During the activity, several armed terrorists opened fire at the troops. IDF soldiers responded with live fire, supported by aerial assistance.”

The IDF post continued, “As a result of the incident, several reservists were injured and were evacuated to the hospital to receive medical treatment. The operation concluded with all suspects apprehended and several terrorists eliminated.”

Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump conversed on Monday.

The office of the prime minister reported on X that “The two leaders stressed the importance and obligation of disarming Hamas and demilitarizing the Gaza Strip, and discussed expanding the peace agreements.” A subsequent post added that “US President Trump invited Prime Minister Netanyahu to a meeting at the White House in the near future.”
