People in the Syrian capital Damascus have voiced strong opposition to US President Donald Trump's proposal that Syria should take military action against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump's public remarks called on the Syrian government to engage the Lebanese-based group, but local residents have dismissed the idea as unacceptable and contrary to Syria's interests. The source does not specify the exact reasons behind this rejection, but it is clear that the suggestion has been met with widespread disapproval. Trump's call comes amid the complex regional dynamics where Hezbollah plays a significant role. Nonetheless, Syrians in Damascus are unified in their stance that their country should not follow such a path.
