Israel and the US appear to be on divergent paths in Syria and this could complicate the Trump administration's plans for a normalization of ties between both nations. The July 16 strikes on Damascus marked a significant Israeli escalation against the government of President Ahmed al-Sharaa and came despite his warming ties with the US and security contacts with Israel.Israel claimed that its attack was in response to requests from Druze inside Israel for intervention, but this clashes with Trump's vision. When Trump the US President met Sharaa in Riyadh in May, he asked him to join the Abraham Accords - the diplomatic agreements between Israel, Morocco, Bahrain and the UAE that Trump sees as one of his signature foreign policy achievements. The Israeli strikes are being seen as a direct rejection of Trump’s efforts. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
