Trump declares importance of not derailing 'Syria's evolution into a prosperous State'

President Donald Trump described it as "very important" that "nothing" transpire to derail Syria's transformation "into a prosperous state."

The commander-in-chief's cryptic comments come days after Israel engaged in an operation in Syria.

"The United States is very satisfied with the results displayed, through hard work and determination, in the Country of Syria. We are doing everything within our power to make sure the Government of Syria continues to do what was intended, which is substantial, in order to build a true and prosperous Country. One of the things that has helped them greatly was my termination of very strong and biting sanctions — I believe this was truly appreciated by Syria, its Leadership, and its People!" the president said in the Truth Social post.

"It is very important that Israel maintain a strong and true dialogue with Syria, and that nothing takes place that will interfere with Syria’s evolution into a prosperous State. The new President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is working diligently to make sure good things happen, and that both Syria and Israel will have a long and prosperous relationship together. This is a historic opportunity, and adds to the SUCCESS, already attained, for PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!" Trump added.

The IDF noted last week that troops were wounded during action in Syria.

A post on X explained that "IDF troops conducted an operation to apprehend suspects from the Jaama Islamiya terrorist organization operating in the Beit Jinn area of southern Syria. During the activity, several armed terrorists opened fire at the troops. IDF soldiers responded with live fire, supported by aerial assistance."

"As a result of the incident, several reservists were injured and were evacuated to the hospital to receive medical treatment. The operation concluded with all suspects apprehended and several terrorists eliminated," the IDF post noted.

Lane Kiffin made a cryptic post on Monday morning as the college football world deals with the aftermath of his decision to leave Ole Miss to take the LSU Tigers’ head-coaching job.

The coach made a post on X to start the day.

"Exhale. Have the best Monday ever," he wrote, adding, "#GodsPlan."

With the post, Kiffin attached a photo from a motivational book.

"Let the seams unravel and reform your entire life the way you really intended for it to be," the passage read. "When you are forced to let go, you are also asked to exhale. What does not hold is not meant to. If you are not certain, wait. Time reveals all truth, all knowing, all reality that will comes to be. It will all become clear."

Kiffin told ESPN on Sunday as he was leaving for Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that the decision to leave Ole Miss was "challenging."

He said he wanted to stay and coach Ole Miss through the postseason.

"We went through a lot last night with (Ole Miss athletic director) Keith Carter trying to figure out a way to make this playoff run work and be able to coach the team. And at the end of the day, that's his decision and I totally respect that. I understand that decision," he said.

"I just totally wish the team the best of luck, wish that I was coaching.... I just hope they play really well and go win the national championship."

He added that he reached out to Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll and former Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban before making his decision.

"My heart was here. But I talked to some mentors – coach Carroll, coach Saban. Especially when coach Carroll said, 'Your dad would tell you to go. Take the shot.'

"I always hated how we gave it one year at Tennessee and left. I hated that feeling of that. I think we gave a lot to this program and to this city and some of those historic wins in this stadium, best regular season in the history of the school. So, I'm proud of that part. But it just became time. I talked to God, and he told me it's time to take a new step. It's a new chapter."

Ole Miss named defensive coordinator Pete Golding its head coach to replace Kiffin.

Kiffin guided Ole Miss to its 11th win of the season over Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.
