Speaking at the G7 summit in France on Tuesday, President Trump sharply criticized Israel’s military offensive in Lebanon, calling it "too long" and "too deadly." Trump expressed frustration that Israeli strikes are killing too many civilians and suggested that Syria’s new leadership would do a "better job" of taking care of Hezbollah.
The President claimed that "there would be no Israel" without his support, marking a significant public rift with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This tension comes as Trump nears a major peace deal with Iran, which he fears could be derailed by continued Israeli military action in the region.
Observers are now watching to see if Israel will scale back its operations or if Netanyahu will openly defy Trump’s call to step aside.
