Grateful to speak with Syrian Druze leader Laith Al-Balous, who is on the ground in Syria. I thank him for his courage.

Syria has seen enough death, all fighting must stop immediately. I appreciate President Trump and @USAmbTurkiye efforts to restore security and stability.

We agreed on the urgent need to end the violence, prevent external interference—including by Israel—and restore stability for all communities.

Sadly, I was dismayed that sectarian massacres and cleansing of Druze, and Druze massacres and cleansing of Bedouins have escalated today with the withdrawal of government security forces. This is a complicated situation and diplomacy and de-escalation are necessary.
