‘Bold’ Donald Trump called out Benjamin Netanyahu of killing ‘too many people’ in Lebanon while speaking at the G7 summit on Tuesday.
The US President vented out his frustration publicly with Israel’s actions during bilateral meetings with the Qatari delegation, including the emir, Sheik Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
‘Israel is fighting Hezbollah too long, and too many people are being killed,’ Trump said while taking questions from reporters. ’They should have been able to do the job faster.’
‘You don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody. There are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they’re not all Hezbollah.’
Trump continued over the Israeli prime minister’s decision to bomb Beirut just two hours before the memorandum of understanding was to be signed by the US and Iran on Sunday.
‘Bibi has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon,’ Trump rebuked. ‘I’m not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon, and with Hezbollah.’
Trump added that he has told Israeli officials that Syria should ‘take care’ of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah.
Between March 2 and June 14, Israel has killed at least 3,783 people and wounded 11,699 others in Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.
