U.S. President Donald Trump on June 16 criticized Israel’s military tactics in Lebanon, saying it was unnecessary to bomb entire apartment buildings while targeting Hezbollah militants. Speaking at the G7 summit in France, Trump said the conflict had gone on for “too long” and that “too many people have been killed,” arguing that many civilians live in the buildings being struck. He also said Israeli attacks in Beirut could have endangered his peace deal with Iran, linking the Lebanon campaign to his broader diplomatic push. The report described rising tensions between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including Israeli frustration with the Iran deal and Trump’s impatience over Beirut strikes that triggered Iranian attacks as he worked to finalize the agreement. The White House said Trump maintains a strong relationship with Netanyahu and praised the Israel Defense Forces as partners, while also indicating there was no clear sign the comments would translate into a policy shift.
