Trump told Qatar\u2019s leader he was frustrated by Israel\u2019s Lebanon campaign, suggesting Syria could handle Hezbollah. He warned such actions might jeopardize talks with Tehran.<\/p>\n
U.S. President Donald Trump expressed disappointment with Israel\u2019s military operation in Lebanon and said that Syria could more effectively counter Hezbollah.<\/p>\n
The remarks were made at the G7 summit during a meeting with the leader of Qatar.<\/p>\n
Trump also noted that Israel\u2019s operation against Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters nearly derailed peace talks with Tehran.<\/p>\n
\u201cI urged Israel to let Syria deal with Hezbollah,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI am not pleased with how Israel has handled Lebanon and Hezbollah. They should have done this more quickly. This just goes on forever, and when that happens, it casts a negative light on the big deal, namely the Iran deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Context of Events<\/p>\n
Such remarks underscore the intensification of tensions over Israel\u2019s actions in Lebanon amid the tense relations between Iran and Israel.<\/p>\n
The prospect of opening the Strait of Hormuz may depend on developments around Lebanon, taking into account how Israel responds to these challenges. At the same time, Trump reiterated the need for greater responsibility on the part of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had great relations with Bibi, but now Bibi needs to be more responsible regarding Lebanon,\u201d said the U.S. president.<\/p>\n
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told U.S. President Donald Trump that he would not withdraw Israeli forces from Lebanon, despite the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran.<\/p>\n
In the context of these events, the U.S. position remains pivotal to regional dynamics, and Washington continues to monitor developments in Lebanon and its relations with Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump told Qatar\u2019s leader he was frustrated by Israel\u2019s Lebanon campaign, suggesting Syria could handle Hezbollah.
