Trump says Israel should be more restrained in Lebanon, suggests Syria may take over
U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the fighting in Lebanon as he arrived at the G7 summit, calling it a “mini war.” He said Israel has been fighting Hezbollah for too long and that Israeli deaths have mounted.
Trump criticized Israel’s tactics, saying it cannot “knock down a building every time” it looks for one person. He added, “If Israel cannot do the job in Lebanon without killing everyone, maybe Syria should do it.”
He also said, “Without the U.S., without me, there would not be Israel,” and noted that he had once had good relations with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump said Netanyahu now needs to be more responsible regarding Lebanon, and that he does not like the way Israel is handling Hezbollah.
