Watching Trump from afar, Israel fears being left out of a new Middle East it helped create

On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump met Syria's new president in a historic meeting brokered by Saudi Arabia and Turkey and lifted sanctions on Damascus.
Trump described lifting sanctions on Syria as a courtesy to the leaders of Saudi Arabia and Turkey, despite Israel’s requests to maintain the sanctions.
Israel, which considers Syria a major security concern and has been engaged in a 19-month military campaign in Gaza since the October 7, 2023 attack, feels sidelined amid U.S. Negotiations with Iran and efforts to establish a ceasefire in Yemen.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians have died, entire towns in Gaza have been destroyed, and Netanyahu insists on defeating Hamas and returning all hostages before ending the war.
Despite Israel's role in creating the current regional realignment, Trump denies a rift, claims strong relations with Israel, and some Israelis worry about exclusion from new U.S. Initiatives.
