Former US President Trump has reiterated his suggestion that Syria should engage in combatting Hezbollah, a militant group operating in Lebanon. This proposal resurfaced as concerns grow regarding a potential conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, particularly impacting Lebanon. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has been advocating for a buffer zone in Lebanon to mitigate threats. The discussion of Syrian involvement coincides with ongoing, delicate negotiations surrounding Iran’s nuclear program, which a wider conflict could jeopardize. A senior Lebanese official, Ghassan Sharaa, dismissed the possibility of Syria intervening in Lebanon. The potential for escalation remains high as the situation unfolds, with regional stability at stake. Netanyahu has defended the need for a buffer zone.
