Trump says Syria leader backs Israel ties but has 'lot of work to do'

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa backed normalization with Israel in the future, after the two leaders met as Washington lifted sanctions on Syria.

"I told him (Sharaa), I hope you're going to join (the Abraham Accords) once you're straightened out, and he said yes. But they have a lot of work to do," Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while heading to Doha from Riyadh.
