RIYADH, June 17 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) - U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States has sent Israel a copy of the agreement to end the war with Iran, while also criticizing Israeli military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“And we did send a copy to Israel by the way. They’ve been a good partner,” Trump said during a press conference at the G7 Summit.
CNN reported Tuesday that Israel had asked the United States to see the text of the Iran agreement and was rejected, according to an Israeli source.
Trump also criticized Israel’s military response to Hezbollah in Lebanon, saying Israeli officials “could do better.”
“I think they can do better with respect to Hezbollah. I’m not saying they shouldn’t protect themselves. I’m saying when two drones are shot into the desert and dropped harmlessly, you don’t have to knock down buildings in Beirut. They could behave better and frankly they could do a better job,” Trump said.
He continued: “I love them as a partner, they were terrific, but they could do a much better job with Hezbollah. On that, I don’t think they’re doing well, and I feel very bad for Lebanon.”
Earlier in the press conference, Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “gets a little excited sometimes,” while calling him a “good man” and praising their partnership.
Trump described their disagreement over Hezbollah as a “little dispute” and said Netanyahu could use a “softer touch.”
“You don’t have to knock down a building every time somebody walks into it that’s from Hezbollah,” Trump said.
