U.S. Demands Syria de-escalation under UNSCR 2254 as Assad Refuses to Engage – Another Escalation?

The United States has voiced concern over the escalating violence in Syria, with National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett highlighting the Assad regime's refusal to engage in the political process outlined in UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2254.

The U.S. has called for an immediate de-escalation, protection of civilians, and the start of a credible political process to resolve the civil war.

The U.S. also reaffirmed its commitment to protecting American military personnel and preventing the resurgence of ISIS in Syria.

In the midst of these tensions, anti-regime groups have made significant advances, raising the stakes in this long-running conflict.

Israel and Syria Uniting to ISOLATE Iran? Two BIG Reasons Behind Al-Shara's Tectonic Shift Explained [Video]

Israel and Syria Uniting to ISOLATE Iran? Two BIG Reasons Behind Al-Shara's Tectonic Shift Explained

In a stunning diplomatic development, officials from Israel and Syria are holding quiet, backchannel talks for the first time in over a decade. This move comes after months of intense regional conflict involving Iran-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, pushing both Jerusalem and Damascus to reassess their long-standing enmity. The United States, with backing from Donald Trump and his envoy Tom Barrack Jr., is mediating the effort, aiming to cool tensions along the volatile Golan Heights border. At the center of this pivot is Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Shara, who has signaled a dramatic shift from the hardline rejectionism of the Bashar al-Assad era. The primary driver for this newfound diplomacy is a shared strategic goal: limiting the influence of Iran and its proxies in southern Syria. For Israel, this is a matter of national security; for al-Shara's new government, it's a path toward securing sovereignty, gaining Western legitimacy, and obtaining much-needed economic relief. While full normalization seems distant, both sides are exploring a revival of the 1974 U.N. Disengagement Agreement, which previously ensured stability in the Golan Heights. In a significant gesture, the Trump administration has lifted the terrorist designation on al-Shara's former group, and Israeli leaders have softened their tone, describing him as someone they could potentially work with. However, analysts remain cautious, pointing to al-Shara’s past and the lack of public support for peace in Syria as major hurdles. Despite the challenges, the fact that these talks are happening at all represents a potential seismic shift in Middle East politics. This report breaks down the key players, the high stakes, and what this surprising diplomacy could mean for the future of the region. #IsraelSyriaTalks #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Israel #Syria #DonaldTrump #Iran #OneindiaNews #AhmedAlShara,

Trump, Al-Sharaa on GIANT Hoardings in Damascus | Syrians thank U.S President for lifting sanctions

Giant billboards of Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa have appeared in Damascus, thanking Trump for lifting U.S. sanctions on Syria. The hoardings read “Strong Leaders Make Peace” and “Syrian People Thank You.” This follows Trump’s June 30 executive order ending broad sanctions to support Syria’s post-Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, a controversial former Al-Nusra figure, has pledged inclusive governance. Trump met him in May, calling him “tough” and “attractive,” marking the first U.S.-Syria leader meeting in 20+ years. #Trump #Syria #AlSharaa #MiddleEastPolitics #SanctionsLifted #USForeignPolicy #Damascus #BreakingNews #TrumpInSyria #Geopolitics #PeaceInitiative #TrumpMoves #SyriaReconstruction #AssadFall #SyrianLeadership #Diplomacy #StrongLeaders #TrumpAlSharaa #GlobalPolitics #USSanctions #TrumpSpeech #MiddleEastUpdate #WhiteHouse #SyrianPeople #PoliticalShift #TrumpExecutiveOrder #ForeignRelations Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

SYRIAN CIVIL WAR | Heavy Fighting FLARES-UP between the Druze & Bedouins in Conflict-zone Sweida

A fragile ceasefire has collapsed in Syria’s Sweida region as deadly clashes resume between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes. Both sides confirm renewed violence following the Syrian army’s withdrawal from key hotspots. Damascus denies redeploying forces, while Israel is blamed for stoking unrest and violating sovereignty. Bedouin leaders call for tribal mobilization amid fears of ethnic cleansing. Sweida remains a volatile flashpoint, with the Syrian government losing control and foreign actors—including Israel—shaping the worsening conflict through strikes and covert influence. #SyriaConflict #SweidaClashes #Druze #Bedouin #CeasefireCollapse #MiddleEastUnrest #SyrianCivilWar #TribalTensions #IsraelSyria #SyrianArmy #EthnicViolence #BreakingNews #SweidaCrisis #TribalMobilization #HumanRights #Airstrikes #Damascus #SOHR #IsraelInSyria #ForeignInfluence #FlashpointRegion #SecurityVacuum #BedouinTribes #DruzeMilitias #SyriaUnrest #WarUpdate #GolanHeightsTensions #RegionalInstability #SyrianObservatory #CivilWarSpillover #ViolenceReturns #SyriaCivilWar Also Read Airstrike Caught On Live TV: Israeli Missiles Hit Syrian Defence HQ In Damascus :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/airstrike-caught-on-live-tv-israeli-missiles-hit-syrian-defence-hq-in-damascus-7803237.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Collapses In Sweida; Israel Responds With Strike On Syrian Army :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ceasefire-collapses-in-sweida-israel-responds-with-strike-on-syrian-army-7803123.html?ref=DMDesc Syria's Government and Kurdish Forces Still Disagree on Merging Plans After Recent Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrias-government-kurds-odds-merging-forces-us-envoy-011-7796579.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Trump Ousts 100+ NSC Staffers In Major Deep State Shake-Up, Rubio Leads Sweeping Overhaul

The Trump administration has fired over 100 National Security Council (NSC) staffers in a surprise Memorial Day shake-up, reportedly aimed at dismantling what insiders call the “Deep State.” Employees received just 30 minutes to vacate offices, affecting major directorates including Ukraine and Indo-Pacific. Acting NSA Marco Rubio is spearheading the effort to streamline policy control, slashing NSC staff from over 300 to just 50. Officials say the move reduces bureaucracy and restores NSC’s original purpose. This is among the most sweeping reorganizations of Trump’s second term so far. #TrumpNSC #DeepState #TrumpAdministration #MarcoRubio #WhiteHousePurge #NationalSecurityCouncil #NSCReform #NSCFirings #TrumpSecondTerm #RubioLeadership #MemorialDayPurge #DeepStateCleanse #TrumpPolicy #ForeignPolicyReform #NSCShakeUp #TrumpMoves #RubioPower #NationalSecurityNews #WhiteHouseNews #BureaucracyCut Also Read Trump Administration Bars Harvard From Enrolling Foreign Students :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-bars-harvard-from-enrolling-foreign-students-4161385.html?ref=DMDesc Congress Slams Centre After Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Ceasefire Claims: 'Why This Thundering Silence?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-slams-centre-after-trump-reiterates-india-pakistan-ceasefire-claims-why-this-thundering-s-4160453.html?ref=DMDesc India-Pakistan Directly Negotiated Ceasefire: S Jaishankar Dismisses Trump's Mediation Claims :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-pakistan-directly-negotiated-ceasefire-s-jaishankar-dismisses-trumps-mediation-claims-4160395.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Israel HELPS Pro-ISIS Group in Gaza Clash? Airstrike KILLS Hamas Fighters |IDF, Proxies to End Hamas

In a shocking turn, Israeli forces launched a drone airstrike in Gaza that targeted Hamas fighters—just as they clashed with an ISIS-linked faction. The strike killed four Hamas members and marked the first time Israel is seen directly aiding a Daesh-affiliated group. Netanyahu admitted to arming anti-Hamas militias in Gaza following a leak by Avigdor Lieberman. The targeted group, led by Yasser Abu Shabab, has long-standing ISIS ties.
