How Trump's meeting with Syria's new leader is a turning point for the nation traveled by the war

Mouaz Moustafa:

No, the concern was justified when the government of Bibi Netanyahu bombed Syria arbitrarily after it had just come out of a terrible war, while the Israeli government, before he ever met the new Syrian government, called it all empty terrorists, kept the names, kept the sanctions.

The concern should have come from the efforts here in the United States to protect President Trump from the occasion in Syria. What is in the best interest of Israel as a state is different, which is in the best interest of an Israeli politician that the war keeps it in office and perhaps outside of the courtroom.

But what President Trump has done is something that is a service for the interests of the United States and honestly interest of everyone in the region, including Israel. When we met with President Sharaa, he told us about the reports of these massive, Iranians supported militias, which, alongside regimeters on the Iraqi side of the Syrian border, was a real problem.

When we only came back here last week, I met with the National Security Council before President Trump went to Saudi Arabia. And I mentioned that this was a real problem. And the official of the National Security Council with which I met, I saw the secret service reports. It is.

This is the concern for the long -term security of Israel to have Hisbollah and IRGC in Iran and ISIS at its limits. And finally I have to say at the moment, and this is not reported, the new Syrian government, led by President Sharaa, worked directly with the US military for operations against ISIS and operations against al-Qaida.

It is only ironic that we say that this is not a changed man. This is really Isis with another hat when he is Isis' worst enemy in Syria and vice versa.
