“Trump encourages Syrian president to recognize Israeli statehood,” by Jennifer Jett:
In a meeting this morning in Saudi Arabia, Trump encouraged Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa to recognize Israel’s statehood, according to a White House readout.
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was also present and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, joined by phone. The readout said both leaders praised Trump’s decision to lift longstanding sanctions on Syria, where Sharaa became president in January after the fall of longtime dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Trump told Sharaa that he had “a tremendous opportunity to do something historic in his country,” the readout said. He urged the Syrian leader to sign on to the Abraham Accords, a framework for Arab states to recognize Israeli sovereignty that the U.S. mediated during Trump’s first term.

Sharaa affirmed his commitment to Syria’s 1974 disengagement with Israel and invited American companies to invest in Syrian oil and gas, the readout said.
