Trump says Syria should handle Hezbollah in Lebanon instead of Israel.
At the G7 summit in France, President Trump criticized Israel's conduct in Lebanon, saying it has taken too long and caused too many civilian casualties. He suggested Syria, under President Ahmed al-Sharaa, should take over the fight against Hezbollah. The remarks came as the U.S. finalized a peace framework with Iran, which Israel has resisted.
