Trump: Netanyahu needs to be ‘more responsible’ with Lebanon, warns without the US ‘there’d be no Israel’

US President Donald Trump stated during the G7 summit in France that without US support, 'there'd be no Israel.' He praised his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but urged him to be 'more responsible' regarding Lebanon. Trump criticized Israel's attack on Beirut, which occurred two hours before the US signed an agreement with Iran, and expressed concern over civilian casualties in Lebanon. He argued that the US-Iran deal could withstand any Israeli actions against Lebanon, referring to the broader conflict with Iran as the 'big one'.

Trump said that without the US “there’d be no Israel” and warned “no other president was willing to do what I did” in comments delivered to reporters in France at the G7 summit.

The US president said that he’s had a “great relationship” with Netanyahu but warned that the Israeli prime minister “has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon” and added that he “didn’t like” Israel’s attack on Beirut "two hours" before the US signed an agreement with Iran.

Trump also claimed that "too many people are being killed in Lebanon", saying: "you don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody because there’s a lot of people in those apartment houses – and they’re not all Hezbollah."

However, he contended that the US-Iran deal can survive even if Israel attacks Lebanon, calling the conflict a “minor war” compared to Iran as “the big one”.
