Donald Trump unleashed a new tirade at Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday as he said that Israel would have ‘been blown up a long time ago’ if he hadn’t intervened.
Speaking ahead of a signing ceremony for the Iran peace deal, the US president warned the Israeli prime minister that he is ‘not happy’ with the continuing war in Lebanon.
Mr Trump repeated his claim that ‘there would be no Israel’ without him, as he lashed out at Mr Netanyahu again after accusing him of having ‘no f*****g judgment’ on Sunday.
The US President told reporters at the G7 summit in France that Israel’s war with Hezbollah has gone on too long as he urged Mr Netanyahu to be ‘more responsible’ in Lebanon.’
‘Israel’s fighting Hezbollah too long and too many people are being killed,’ he said during a bilateral meeting with the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
As it is, Netanyahu was not heeding the US President’s calls as the Israel Defense Forces confirmed it had undertaken several strikes in Lebanon on Tuesday.
The strikes came a day after Israel said its forces would not withdraw from southern Lebanon, saying the deal between Washington and Tehran ‘does not bind us in any way’.
