Trump Urges Netanyahu to Withdraw Israeli Forces from Syria and Lebanon
US President Donald Trump advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call last Thursday to begin redeploying Israeli forces out of Syria. Trump also urged Netanyahu to take similar steps regarding Israel's military presence in Lebanon.

"They do not want you there. You need to redeploy your forces," Trump reportedly told Netanyahu, adding that the same applies to Lebanon.
