Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa’s meeting in the White House with US President Donald Trump was the first official visit to the United States by a Syrian president since its independence in 1946. The official state visit is part of al-Sharaa’s largely successful charm offensive to establish new ties with countries that had shunned the previous Assad’s government after its brutal crackdown on protesters in 2011 spiraled into a 14-year civil war. Syria is widely expected to officially join the US-led coalition against the Islamic State group and will likely push for a removal of sanctions imposed on his country. “Americanization in Syria is good,” said Middle East analyst Seth Frantzman. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that it would also offset heavy Turkish influence in Damascus. (photo: AP) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the past two years, the IDF has blocked independent entry into the Gaza Strip to cover the war. But foreign journalists have gone all the way to the High Court of Justice to change that and the government has about two weeks left to decide whether to allow journalists in for the first time since 2014. While lifting the ban is a risky move for Israel, the government should allow it. This according to Gil Hoffman, the executive director of the pro-Israel media watchdog HonestReporting. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that control of media narrative is impossible and open press access was preferable. (Nati Shohat/flash90)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
