US President Donald Trump says he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Syria should take responsibility for fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon. Across reports, Trump argues that Israel’s campaign against the group has been “too” violent and has cost too many lives. The outlets also link the message to tensions in Trump’s relationship with Netanyahu. One account says the strained ties occur amid negotiations and the broader context of an Iran-related peace deal. In the reporting, Trump frames his intervention as shifting the burden away from Israel and toward Syrian involvement in countering Hezbollah’s presence and activity in Lebanon. The statements are presented as part of direct communication between the two leaders, with Trump offering both a policy recommendation and a criticism of Israel’s conduct. The coverage focuses on Trump’s claim about what he told Netanyahu and the reasons he gives for the proposed change in responsibility, rather than providing new details about operational plans or casualty figures.
