Trump Says Syria Would Do a ‘Better Job’ of Fighting Hezbollah than Israel
Trump said Syria could do a better job against Hezbollah as he criticized Israel’s strikes that he said have killed too many civilians.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump suggested Israel "let Syria take care of Hezbollah" in Lebanon, citing civilian casualties and asserting that Syrian President Ahmed would do a better job.
- Reports of strained relations between the United States and Israel over divergent strategies in ending regional fighting prompted Trump's remarks, as he seeks a broader resolution to the conflict with Iran.
- Criticizing the targeting of apartment houses, Trump said, "Israel is fighting Hezbollah too long, and too many people are being killed," adding that Israel "should have been able to do the job faster."
- Trump described his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "great" and "effective," but emphasized that Netanyahu "has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon."
- As Iran pushes for a separate ceasefire, Syrian President Ahmed, whom Trump praised as doing an "amazing job," could play a larger role, though Israel remains opposed to the proposed peace deal.
