During a video address on Sunday, Netanyahu highlighted how countries like Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran are no longer the same as they once were, stressing that Israel is playing a pivotal role in the ongoing transformation.
The conversation between Netanyahu and Trump was described as “very friendly, very warm, and very important.” The leaders discussed various issues, including Israel’s efforts to strengthen its security and counterterrorist initiatives, with a focus on the progress being made in freeing hostages held by Hamas.
On Syria, Netanyahu outlined Israel’s strategic actions, such as airstrikes and the establishment of a buffer zone, aimed at preventing terrorist groups from gaining a foothold near Israel’s borders in the wake of the ongoing civil war. He also reiterated that Israel does not seek a direct confrontation with Syria but would continue to adjust its policies in response to the evolving security landscape.
“Syria has been a longstanding enemy of Israel,” Netanyahu remarked, “allowing attacks on our country and giving support to Hezbollah, backed by Iran.” He emphasized that Israel would maintain its vigilance to protect its borders and sovereignty while navigating the complex dynamics of the region.
This dialogue between Netanyahu and Trump comes at a critical juncture for Israel, as the Middle East remains embroiled in instability, with the shifting balance of power in countries like Syria and Lebanon affecting Israel’s strategic priorities.
