US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack says on X that he is flying to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over threats from Syria.
According to the businessman-turned-diplomat and Trump ally, the US president “envisions a Syria that cannot be used as a platform by any 3rd party nation state, or non-nation state, to threaten Syria’s neighbors, including Israel.”
Syrian authorities insisted earlier today that they would “never be a threat” to anyone in the region, a day after two rockets were fired from Syria at the Israeli Golan Heights for the first time in over a year.
