A senior American official tells an Israeli news source that President Donald Trump is attempting to initiate direct talks between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa. The report is attributed to a single source and remains unverified.
A senior American official claims that President Donald Trump is seeking to arrange direct talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, according to an Israeli news source. The report, attributed to a single unnamed official, does not specify the format or timing of the proposed talks, nor whether either leader has agreed. The claim comes amid a broader pattern of US diplomatic outreach to both sides: As The Zioneer has previously reported, Trump administration officials have been pressing both Israel and Syria to resume security discussions, with Washington reportedly seeking Israeli compromises and Syrian demands for a return to the 1974 border lines. Multiple reports published earlier this month also described Trump holding direct phone calls with Israeli and Iranian officials, as well as attempts to broker normalization deals. The current report remains unconfirmed by additional sources, and no official confirmation has been issued from Jerusalem, Damascus, or Washington.
