Netanyahu Reveals Direct Call to Syria's Leader After Damascus Strike

Netanyahu Reveals Direct Call to Syria's Leader After Damascus Strike

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed he spoke directly with Syria's leader Ahmed al-Sharaa after an Israeli airstrike in Damascus last year, marking a potential first direct conversation between the two nations. The July 2025 strike occurred amid sectarian violence in Syria's Druze-populated Sweida province, prompting Israel to act due to its own Druze population's ties. Netanyahu stated the call led to a halt in the bloodshed. Since late 2024, Israel has conducted strikes in Syria following a leadership change, and both countries have engaged in security talks.

The move signifies a major expansion for the founders beyond their tech ventures.
