In Trump's Syria policy, the priority will be the fight against ISIS.

Mike Waltz, who was chosen by the elected President of the USA, Donald Trump, as the national security advisor for his second term, made evaluations regarding the developments in Syria. Waltz stated that 'the focus of the US presence in Syria is the fight against ISIS,' and said, 'We do not need American boots on the ground in Syria in any way.'

"WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO BE RELEASED"

Waltz used the following expressions regarding the US presence in Syria: 'Literally, tens of thousands of fighters and their families are being held in prison camps protected by our Kurdish friends with our support, and we cannot allow them to be released again. This is our primary interest, our second interest is Israel and its borders... The third is the dynamics we need to consider with our Arab partners. Remember the times when ISIS launched attacks across Europe and the US. At that time, they controlled an area the size of Texas in the Middle East. This was Bin Laden's and Al-Baghdadi's grand dream...

"WE DO NOT NEED AMERICAN BOOTS ON THE GROUND"

So President Trump is absolutely right, he constantly said 'do not drag us into Middle Eastern wars.' We do not need American boots on the ground in Syria in any way, but we should keep an eye on these issues: ISIS, Israel's borders, and the broader dynamics with our allies in the Gulf.

"AN INCREDIBLE MOVIE WILL BE MADE"

All of this emerged due to the calls and radio attacks made by Israel and its leadership, Benjamin Netanyahu, against Hezbollah. One day, an incredible movie will be made about this. I think it is one of the boldest and most effective covert operations in modern history, because they neutralized Hezbollah, which everyone said was impossible and too provocative, and literally left Iran's air defense exposed and in a vulnerable and retreating position.'

WHAT HAPPENED?

During his first term, Trump wanted to withdraw US troops from Syria but faced resistance from the Pentagon and the US Central Command (CENTCOM). In 2018, Trump stated that the US mission in the region was complete due to the defeat of ISIS. After Trump's decision, although US troops were partially withdrawn from the region, CENTCOM and the Pentagon warned that this decision would strengthen Iran and Russia and could endanger US partners in the region. In response to the reactions, some US forces were left in Syria. Before his second presidential term, Trump did not disclose his plans regarding the US military mission in Syria.
