Syrian officials responded to U.S. President Donald Trump, stating that Damascus has no intention of intervening in Lebanon, according to a report by Israel Hayom. The brief statement does not detail what specific overture or proposal from Trump prompted the reply.
Damascus has pushed back against what it characterized as a U.S. overture regarding Lebanon. In a statement carried by Israeli media on Tuesday afternoon, a Syrian official said: "We have no intention of intervening in Lebanon" — a direct reply to U.S. President Donald Trump. The timing and exact content of Trump's communication to the Syrian side were not disclosed. The denial comes a day after a Syrian presidential advisor told Al-Arabiya that the United States had offered Damascus a military role in Lebanon, which Syria refused. The advisor, Dr. Ahmad Mwafaq Zeidan, also criticized Hezbollah's involvement in Syrian affairs. The current statement reaffirms Syria's stated policy of non-intervention, though it does not clarify whether the Trump administration had made a fresh proposal or whether the earlier reported offer was the subject of the response. The channel reporting the statement did not name the Syrian official or provide a venue for the remarks. No further details were available at this hour.
