Syrian activist relays discussion with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa about his interest in peace deal with Israel, but several key issues remain between the two countries.

Trump is counting on the threat of more attacks to pressure Tehran into a nuclear agreement, but Israel is skeptical a pact would prevent Iran from moving toward a nuclear weapon.

Trump urges Israel to "make the deal in Gaza" as envoy Ron Dermer heads to White House meetings, while Israel claims Hamas blocks return of 50 hostages held since Oct. 7.

Mr. Trump is set to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington next Monday. The president told reporters Tuesday he expects to discuss both Gaza and Iran, which struck a separate ceasefire deal with Israel last week after a 12-day campaign between the two countries that included U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
