The White House announced that President Donald Trump will meet with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa this week, according to a breaking bulletin cited by ynet. The announcement comes amid a flurry of diplomatic activity: as The Zioneer has reported, Trump has previously floated the idea that Syria could handle Hezbollah in Lebanon, and senior U.S. officials have mentioned efforts to initiate direct Israel-Syria talks. This week's meeting — the first confirmed Trump-al-Sharaa face-to-face — marks a significant step in the administration's engagement with the new Syrian leadership. No venue, exact day, or agenda has been specified. The Zioneer will update as details emerge.
