US President-elect Donald Trump has called for the United States to avoid involvement in the escalating conflict in Syria, where rebel forces are advancing toward Damascus. In a post on X, Trump stated, “Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & the United States should have nothing to do with it. This is not our fight. Let it play out. Do not get involved!” Trump highlighted that Russia, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, is preoccupied with its war in Ukraine, reducing its ability to support Assad’s forces. He suggested that Russia’s potential exit from Syria could ultimately benefit Moscow. The statement follows a major offensive by rebel groups, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which began on November 27. The advance marks the most significant challenge to Assad’s regime in years, reigniting tensions in Syria’s prolonged civil war, which began in 2011.
