Trump criticizes Netanyahu over Lebanon strikes, says 'without me there would be no Israel'

President Donald Trump publicly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over recent military strikes in Lebanon. Speaking at the G7 summit, Trump said Netanyahu needs to be 'more responsible' and suggested that without his own past support, Israel would not exist. He also proposed that Syria could take on Hezbollah if Israel cannot avoid civilian casualties.

Israeli analysts reacted sharply, calling Netanyahu a 'liar' and saying he was 'humiliated' by Trump's comments. The criticism comes amid ongoing tensions between the US and Israel over the handling of operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
