Trump urged Netanyahu to pull Israeli troops out of Syria, Lebanon: Report
Trump said Israeli troop presence in Syria and Lebanon is raising friction as U.S. mediators seek phased pullbacks and a new security accord.
- On Thursday, President Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to withdraw IDF forces from Syria and Lebanon, telling him, "You should redeploy," citing risks of further escalation.
- The call occurred one day after Trump met Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa at the NATO summit in Turkey, as the Trump administration pursued months of diplomatic security framework discussions.
- Israel argues its military presence is necessary to prevent attacks similar to the Oct. 7 incident, though recent protests against the IDF in southern Syria have led to clashes between Syrian citizens and soldiers.
- Netanyahu raised the need for security zones along Israel's borders during the conversation, while the IDF has not yet withdrawn troops from either area.
- Separately, U.S. mediators met diplomats in Rome on Tuesday to discuss a framework agreement, with Israel seeking to confirm "pilot zones" in Lebanon are free of Hezbollah weapons before advancing.
