How the US can work with Israel in Syria without putting more boots on the ground

President Trump’s decision to keep several hundred troops in Syria is a welcome one. But it remains largely defensive, merely preventing the situation from worsening: the return of ISIS; Turkey overrunning our Kurdish partners; or greater Iranian expansion.

Israel alone is actively working to improve conditions in Syria, embarking on a new strategy to expel Iran by increasing pressure on Damascus. The United States can help the Israeli effort without putting additional American boots on the ground.
