An Arab news channel carried the full text of Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa's statement congratulating President Donald Trump on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. Al-Sharaa expressed hope for building relations based on mutual respect and cooperation. The report follows The Zioneer's initial coverage of the greeting earlier this morning.
The statement, first reported by The Zioneer at 10:46 Jerusalem, was echoed by the Arab news channel 301 this morning, which published the full text of al-Sharaa's greeting. The channel's editor, Or Ben Yechzekel, added a personal note questioning how al-Sharaa's former comrades who fought alongside him against Americans would view the gesture. The greeting itself struck a diplomatic tone, with al-Sharaa expressing hope that the 'new Syria' can build ties with Washington based on mutual respect and cooperation for regional stability and prosperity.
