PARIS, June 17. /TASS/. Israel should be more careful when conducting military operations in Lebanon, while Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa could address the Shiite Hezbollah problem, US President Donald Trump said.
"We have a little dispute over Lebanon, and I say ‘You can do a little softer touch, Bibi (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - TASS). You don't have to knock down a building every time somebody walks into it, that's from Hezbollah," the US leader told a press conference after a Group of Seven summit in the French city of Evian-les-Bains.
He further claimed that al-Sharaa is ready to conduct military operations against Hezbollah.
"He'd love to go on it, you know. Hezbollah is an enemy of his. He'd just go and get them with precision," Trump believes.
He acknowledged that Lebanon probably doesn't like that idea, something that can be discussed when the Lebanese leadership visits the United States soon.
