US President Donald Trump encouraged Syria’s new leader to establish diplomatic relations with Israel.

Trump’s praise for Al Sharaa came after he announced the lifting of sanctions on Syria.

During a meeting aboard Air Force One en route to Qatar, Trump described Sharaa as a ‘young, attractive guy’ with a strong past.

The president emphasized the importance of Syria’s relationship with Israel in the region.

Trump’s positive remarks about Sharaa and Syria’s potential ties with Israel signal a shift in US foreign policy towards the Middle East.

The lifting of sanctions on Syria is seen as a significant step towards rebuilding the war-torn country’s economy.

The move is expected to have far-reaching implications for the geopolitical landscape in the region.

Syria’s response to Trump’s call for normalization with Israel remains to be seen.

The meeting between Trump and Sharaa marks a pivotal moment in US-Syria relations under the new leadership.
