Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is set to visit Washington for the first time, marking a historic moment in Syrian-American relations. The trip, expected around November 10, comes as the United States seeks Syria's participation in its coalition against the Islamic State. Al-Sharaa's visit follows a series of diplomatic efforts to restore Syria's ties with global powers after the end of Bashar Al-Assad's rule.

Discussions are also underway between Syria and Israel, with US mediation aiming for a de-escalation agreement. While a security pact may be reached soon, Syrian officials have clarified that normalization or a peace deal with Israel is not currently being considered. The Trump administration is reportedly working to broker a preliminary understanding between the two countries ahead of the United Nations General Assembly.
