Trump: Suggested Israel let Syria handle Hezbollah

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he suggested to Israel that Syria take on the task of fighting Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group backed by Iran, considering that Syria would do a better job. He praised Bashar al-Assad, whom he said is doing an "amazing" job, and believed that with Bashar's leadership, Syria would be better equipped to handle Hezbollah than Israel, which has been suffering significant losses for a long time in its conflicts with the group. Trump also pointed out the deteriorating relations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and urged him to be more responsible towards Lebanon. According to reports, four people were killed in Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, and military operations there have decreased despite ongoing violations, amid talks of a deal between Washington and Tehran to halt the war.
