“I'm not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon and with Hezbollah. They should have been able to do the job faster,” Trump told reporters Tuesday, at the G7 summit in France.
Trump said he has an “unbelievable relationship” with Netanyahu, but claimed “Israel would have been blown up a long time ago, had I not gotten involved.”
Since the Israel-Hezbollah fighting reignited in March, early on in the Iran war, at least 3,783 have been killed in Lebanon, with 11,699 wounded, according to the country’s Health Ministry.
"I consider that the minor war. Iran’s the big one, but we have that little pinprick out there that constantly rears its head and that’s Hezbollah,” he said.
“I suggested to Israel to let Syria take care of Hezbollah, because to be honest with you, I think they would do a better job,” he argued.
Netanyahu said they had established deep security zones around the “State of Israel,” and that this had been done in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. “We will remain in the security zones for as long as it is required to defend our country,” he vowed.
Although the parallel conflict between Israel and Hezbollah remains a risk-factor, Trump expressed confidence in the deal to halt the months-long Iran war.
However, the exact framework of the deal has yet to be made public and both the U.S. and Iran say a permanent truce has yet to be negotiated.
Trump has heralded the guarantees he says it provides that prevent Iran from developing or purchasing a nuclear weapon.
Officials have indicated that the future of Iran's nuclear program and broader regional security arrangements will be deferred to subsequent negotiations.
Trump has said the agreement assures that the vital trade passage, which Iran has used as a geopolitical bargaining chip since the start of the war, will be fully reopened on Friday with no tolls.
Meanwhile, experts say it could be weeks or months before traffic in the Strait, through which around a fifth of global oil production flows, returns to its pre-war state.
