US President Donald Trump announced divergent views between him and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concerning several key issues, notably the approach to Hezbollah and airstrikes targeting Lebanon. Trump affirmed his desire to improve conditions in Lebanon and advocate for "more precise" military operations against Hezbollah. During a television interview with an American news network, Trump stated: "I don't agree with him on some things," referring to Netanyahu, adding: "I would like Lebanon to have a better life, and I want to see more targeted attacks against Hezbollah." The US President highlighted the necessity for Israeli strikes against the group to be "more targeted," emphasizing the United States' capacity to provide assistance in this area, or offer recommendations regarding the Syrian file. Despite addressing points of disagreement, Trump stressed his good relationship with the Israeli Prime Minister, noting that they "understand each other well." These statements emerge amid ongoing confrontations on the Lebanese front, with the Israeli military continuing to conduct raids and operations inside Lebanon, while Hezbollah announces carrying out rocket and drone attacks against Israeli positions and forces.
