Episode notes
Trump More Popular In Israel Than U.S.
- Trump's approval rating in Israel (73%) far exceeds his U.S. approval (41%), with strong right-wing Israeli support.
- DeCamp connects this to U.S. policy alignment with Israeli priorities in the conflict.
U.S. Reportedly Leaves Al-Tanf Base
- AFP reported U.S. forces withdrew from the Al-Tanf garrison in southern Syria and moved to Jordan, with Syrian forces replacing them.
- DeCamp suggests this may signal a planned broader U.S. withdrawal from Syria but cautions about the violent vacuum left behind.
New Syrian Forces Carry Troubling Elements
- U.S. officials privately told the Wall Street Journal Syria's new military contains personnel with jihadist sympathies and alleged war crimes.
- DeCamp contrasts the public praise from U.S. envoys with the journalists' and officials' private warnings.
