United States President Donald Trump offered Israel peace with Syria in exchange for ending the war on the Gaza Strip, Israel Hayom reported on July 7, citing “sources close to the White House.”
The report claims that Trump sent an envoy to Damascus to nail down an Israeli-Syrian peace agreement with the U.S. as guarantor.
The report did not name the official or say who they are meeting. Notably, U.S. envoy to Syria Tom Barrack arrived in Damascus two days after the release of the report, where he met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
In addition, the U.S. announced on July 7 that it was revoking a foreign terrorist organization designation for Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an Islamist group once linked to Al-Qaeda that took down the regime of former President Bashar al-Assad after a lighting offensive last December before installing its own government led by Sharaa and dissolving itself.
According to Israel Hayom, Trump’s hope is to finalize key elements by July 10, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is still in Washington: a hostage deal involving a two-month ceasefire in Gaza, potentially extendable, and a parallel agreement with Syria, all under U.S. guarantees to ensure Israel’s security.
Last week, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel that the country was holding “advanced talks” with Syria, without elaborating.
“There is absolutely an aspiration to expand the Abraham Accords, and it’s no secret that we want to see Syria in this,” the official continued. “And there may be an opportunity.”
Other recent reports from Hebrew and Arab media revealed that Sharaa agreed to give up on the country’s claim to the Golan Heights, or at least two thirds of the occupied region. However, the country appears to be keen on regaining control over the adjacent buffer zone in southern Syria, which Israel invaded following the fall of the Assad regime.
Overall, a peace deal between Israel and Syria, or at least some sort of a public understanding appears to be months, or even just weeks away.
It remains unclear how Sharaa’s Islamist base will receive such a deal. While many are not likely against peace in principle, they could use it as an excuse to take action against the president, especially considering that the security situation in Syria remains fragile.
A recent report by Lebanon’s L’Orient Today revealed that Sharaa himself had escaped at least two assassination attempts in March and May. His intelligence chief Hussein al-Salama survived an attempt on his life later in June, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

i hope trump gets rid of the associate and witness and pushes him into hell.
which one? netanyahu or the monkey?
i hope that the traitor putler, who sold syria for parts of ukraine, will be left without crimea and karelia.
the traitorous pig putler must be left without moscow.
peace with the maggot-ridden corpse of syria? :p what kind of nonsense is this? syria is already conquered by the zionist entity, so this “offer” makes no sense, there is absolutely no danger coming from syria towards “israel”.
why not, it would be nice to watch wahhabi mabus if lebanese christians burned syria to idlib
i wish that traitorous russia would be completely burned down and all its people would be slaughtered, down to the last baby.
of course you do.
i want the lebanese christians to burn damascus so that not one stone is left upon another.
it would be beautiful if the lebanese christian militia would do a dirty job in damascus in the style of juret francetić and rafael boban, because of the pedophilia hts have been inflicting on ten-year-old yazidi and alawite girls.
i wonder how the kafirs: dump, hegseth and vance would explain to mabusu if the lebanese christians (paramilitary militia and army) burned damascus?
it would be nice to hear the explanations of the kafir hegseth and peter thiel and his former lawyer j.d. vance, how they would explain to mabus if lebanese christians burned damascus.
we kicked russia’s ass out of syria!
i hope assad & his family enjoy their moscow apartment!
ehheeheh
americunt cannot kick pygmy azz—inferior species swallow houthi jizz
