The U.S. President has made unusually critical comments regarding Israel's military offensive and campaign in Lebanon. Trump stated that he is not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon and Hezbollah.

Questioning Prime Minister Netanyahu's methods, Trump described a strike in Beirut as excessive and provided a damning appraisal of the military campaign.

Furthermore, Trump suggested that Syria's President is the most capable of countering Hezbollah, proposing that Syria take the campaign on instead. These remarks come amid concerns that the parallel conflict could derail a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran.
