The letter, sent ahead of al-Sharaa&#8217;s White house visit, highlights the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rockets-target-us-troops-at-kabul-airport\/\" title=\"Rockets Target US Troops at Kabul Airport\">dire humanitarian crisis<\/a> these minorities face, including violence, displacement, starvation, and deprivation of medical aid, with many innocent civilians held hostage by ISIS terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>The faith leaders,representing tens of millions of American Christians,including well-known religious and political figures,praised Trump&#8217;s recent efforts to combat Christian persecution globally,such as his designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern.They specifically called on Trump to secure a commitment from al-Sharaa to open a secure humanitarian corridor for aid delivery.<\/p>\n<p>The letter also references recent actions, including Israel&#8217;s airstrikes in Syria aimed at protecting the Druze minority from jihadist attacks. In the spring, Trump had met al-Sharaa and expressed willingness to support his leadership if he demonstrated positive change, leading to the lifting of some U.S. sanctions on Syria and al-Sharaa ahead of the White House meeting.<\/p>\n<p>the faith leaders emphasize the importance of protecting religious minorities in syria and urge continued humanitarian support and diplomatic pressure to prevent further atrocities against vulnerable communities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Nearly 100 of the most prominent faith leaders in the United States urged President Donald Trump in a Friday letter to pressure Syria&rsquo;s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, to prevent the further killing of Christians and Druze in southern Syria.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/savethepersecutedchristians.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Christian_Leaders_Letter_to_Trump_on_Syria.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter<\/a> came ahead of Trump&rsquo;s meeting with al-Sharaa &mdash; a former al-Qaeda and Islamic State fighter &mdash; at the White House on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>In the correspondence, Dede Laugesen &mdash; president and CEO of the group Save the Persecuted Christians &mdash; wrote, &ldquo;With the visit of Syria&rsquo;s new President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, scheduled for November 10, 2025, we urge you to address directly the massacre of Christians, Kurds, Druze, and Alawites in Syria, notably in the greater Suwayda area.
