Turkey has sought to downplay Tuesday’s Israeli strikes on the Abu al-Duhur military airbase in northern Syria, about 70km from the Turkish border, viewing them as an election stunt by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Negotiations between the US and Iran have reached an impasse. Trump keeps insisting that a deal is coming, which has kept oil markets sanguine. Unfortunately, a diplomatic off-ramp is becoming less likely.

A top regional Trump envoy has said the US is "deeply concerned" after major new Israeli airstrikes on Syria overnight, following months of an absence of such attacks, and in the context of the broader Iran conflict.

The Syrian government and US Envoy to Iraq and Syria Tom Barrack said the attacks hit Abu al-Duhur military airfield in Idlib province in northwestern Syria. Barrack blasted it as an unnecessary escalation that threatens regional stability.

The entire Republican Party knows that the GOP is in for a shellacking in the mid-term elections this November. One must go back to the presidency of Herbert Hoover (and that was during the Depression years) to find a president who had a worse approval rating than Trump does today.
