At the G7 summit, U.S. President Donald Trump sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s continued strikes in Lebanon, calling the bombardment excessive and urging greater restraint. During talks with Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Trump warned that Israel’s actions could jeopardize the emerging U.S.-Iran peace agreement. Declaring “there would be no Israel without me,” Trump emphasized Washington’s support while pressing Netanyahu to act more responsibly. The remarks highlight growing tensions between the two allies as diplomatic efforts intensify to secure regional stability and prevent further escalation. (PC: HT)
