President Donald Trump said early Thursday morning that Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara has committed to assist in dealing with Hezbollah, according to a report by ynet. The statement adds to a series of remarks by Trump on the issue of Hezbollah and Syria in recent weeks.
Trump has repeatedly commented on the possibility of Syria acting against Hezbollah. As The Zioneer reported on June 17, Trump said Syria 'would be happy' to handle Hezbollah, and later that week he stated that Syria could handle Hezbollah 'without knocking down buildings.' On June 22, Syrian President al-Shara himself said he would sit with Hezbollah at the same table if it serves Syria and Lebanon, a stance that contrasts with Trump's calls for Syrian action.
The latest statement, if accurate, suggests al-Shara has since made a commitment to assist, though the nature and scope of the commitment remain unclear. The report did not provide further details on when or how al-Shara made the commitment.
