US President Donald Trump is reportedly urging Israel to withdraw its military forces from several areas along the border with Syria, according to a report by Axios.
The push for redeployment comes as part of a broader diplomatic effort to reduce tensions in the region, with the White House also encouraging a similar pullback from Lebanon.
The push for withdrawal coincides with faltering ceasefire efforts and rising threats from Iran, which has warned it may withdraw from ongoing negotiations.
This development marks a notable shift in the US approach to the conflict, moving from military support toward active pressure for disengagement.
The reported advice to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aligns with earlier reports that Trump has advised limiting military actions in Lebanon to "surgical" strikes only.
These moves suggest Washington is prioritizing a diplomatic resolution over continued military escalation.
