Trump Blocked Israel’s Request for Another U.S. Strike in Syria

Channel 13 reported that Israel asked the United States to carry out another strike in Syria, but President Donald Trump blocked the request. The report said this marked a departure from previous occasions when Washington approved such action, but it did not identify the proposed target, timing or officials involved. The report placed the decision amid Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's effort to expand Ankara's influence in Syria with the consent of Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and Trump. No official Israeli or U.S. statement confirming the reported request was available.
