While Syrias are rebuilding and healing after a decade of war, Israel is destroying their land and livelihoods. These are unacceptable, indefensible violations of Syrian sovereignty and they must stop immediately.
As a stakeholder in the countryโs future, the US must demand an end to Israeli aggression against Syria.

Israel cannot continue to invoke security concerns to justify its attacks on Syrian sovereignty- nearly 2 years later, Syria has yet to respond or behave in any way that can be perceived as a threat. Just as October 7 is condemnable, so too are the ongoing violations of Syrian sovereignty and the violence inflicted by Israel on Syrian civilians.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor the lives lost and recommit to standing together against hatred and violence.

Historic day - The United States has officially lifted Syriaโs designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism.
The designation no longer reflected Syriaโs current actions, direction, or goals. With the Assad regime gone, Syria is pursuing a fundamentally different pathโone focused on rebuilding, stability, and reintegration with the international community.
This is a crucial step toward recognizing the new Syria and supporting its future. ๐ธ๐พ

President Ahmed al Sharaa's meeting with Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani sends an encouraging message about the future of Syria's regional partnerships and internal cohesion.
Notably, President Al Sharaa delivered this message in Kurdishโa meaningful gesture of respect and inclusion, recognizing Syria's diverse communities as partners in building the country's future.
Replying to @AH_AlSharaa

The new Syria is an ally in the fight against terrorism, working alongside the US to eradicate the threat of terrorist groups and bring stability to the region. We appreciate @POTUS and the Trump administration's commitment to strengthening this partnership and supporting Syria as it rebuilds and works toward lasting peace and stability.
Syria is making real progress on political, humanitarian & security priorities. That is why, on July 8, President Trump informed Congress of his intent to rescind Syria's State Sponsor of Terrorism designationโunlocking trade & investment opportunities to help rebuild Syria.
How far Syria has come in such a short time is remarkable. In 1979, it was the first country on the U.S. list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. Today, it is a regional leader in the fight against ISIS, Hizballah, & other terrorist groups.

Israelโs incursions have never been about โprotecting minoritiesโ and have always been about occupying Syrian land regardless of the impact on Syrian communities. These violations have killed, injured, displaced, and dispossessed Syrians and they must end now.

An impactful meeting between @POTUS and Syrian President Al Sharaa on the sidelines of NATO, in which President Trump said he will lift Syriaโs SST designation, a decision of which he has reportedly notified Congress.
We are grateful to the Trump admin for the continued support and swift action on this important step as it will open new doors for investment in Syriaโs reconstruction.
This Fourth of July, we celebrate the ideals of freedom, democracy, and self-determination, and stand with those striving to secure these same values for their own communities and future generations.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy Independence Day. ๐บ๐ธ

Thank you @RepJoeWilson for calling for an end to Israeli aggression against Syria and supporting our nationโs sovereignty and stability.
President Trump and Secretary Rubio are promoting peace and prosperity throughout the Middle East dismantling the terrorist regime in Tehran and its puppets such as Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas which shout Death to Israel, Death to America.
I appreciate President Trumpโs efforts to give Syria a chance through stability and prosperity and was grateful to personally express that to him a few days ago. President Trumpโs efforts promoting peace between Lebanon and Israel and supporting stabilization in Syria help secure Israel and secure the region.
The changes in Syria improve the security situation for Israel phenomenally. Rather than being a land bridge to Hezbollah, Syria now actively shuts down Hezbollah routes and networks in the country. The IRGC has totally withdrawn from Syria. ISIS cells are being decimated by Syrian forces in cooperation with the United States. Under the new government, Syria has not launched a single attack against Israel and pledges to never allow Syrian land to be used against its neighbors.
In my talks with President AlSharaa and the Syrian leadership I have been deeply impressed by their foresight and openness to seeking good and respectful relations with Israel. President Trump and Secretary Rubio are right to seek a nonaggression agreement between Syria and Israel which has the potential to stabilize the region including for the Druze populations in both countries.
As the founder of the Republican Israel Caucus, I have been a friend of Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu throughout my career. Israelโs continuing aggressive operations in Syria are deeply disturbing, especially in recent days, including bombing and taking more Syrian cities. Israelโs actions in Syria are counterproductive and harmful to the interests of Israel. These actions are irresponsible and go against what President Trump, Secretary Rubio and @USAmbTurkiye Tom Barrack have tried to do. They also make it more difficult to remove War Criminal Putinโs malign influence in Syria. Taking Syrian land and attacking Syrian cities will hurt Israel in the long term and need to end immediately.

Israel cannot flip the narrative when it has violated Syrian sovereignty and the 1974 agreement despite a complete lack of threatening action and multiple reassurances by new Syria.
The US and our regional allies must discourage Israel from continuing down this path, which is against US national interests, as it will destabilize Syria and the region.
This is completely false.
On December 8, 2024, with IAF jets conducting 100s of strikes across #Syria, IDF ground forces invaded SW #Syria, crossing over the 1974 lines & establishing positions that resulted in the de facto occupation of ~220sqkm of Syrian land.
Senior Israeli officials have repeatedly acknowledged this since โ describing the operation as a preemptive one aimed at building a deeper โbufferโ or โsecured zone.โ
C4SSAโs @DrIsmail_A and @BGhbeis examine the success of US policy in Syria and argue that to consolidate it, the US must remove Syriaโs SST designation. @Newsweek @StateDept_NEA @WhiteHouse @POTUS newsweek.com/why-us-policy-iโฆ

We argue that Syria deserves recognition as a model for what principled, interest-driven diplomacy can achieve. More importantly we emphasize how Syria is an illustration of what American leadership looks like when it builds coalitions rather than operating in isolation.
The last remaining structural barrier to Syria's full international reintegration is its 1979 designation as a state sponsor of terrorism (SST). That designation was earned by a regime that no longer exists. The legal standard for removal is clear: a fundamental change in government and policy, and a credible break with the behaviors that warranted the listing. Syria under al-Sharaa has severed ties with Hezbollah, expelled Iranian influence from its territory and actively partnered with the U.S. on counterterrorism. Lifting the SST label would unlock foreign aid flows, normalize financial transactions and allow Syria's reconstruction to begin in earnestโoutcomes that serve American interests alongside Syrian ones.
