Reports indicate that American President Donald Trump reportedly advised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call last week to initiate the withdrawal of Israeli military forces from southern Syria and Lebanon. According to Barak Ravid of Channel 12 and Axios, the report cited American and Israeli officials regarding the conversation. The account of the Friday call suggests that trump cautioned that the ongoing Israeli military presence within Syrian territory was generating significant regional tensions, potentially leading to an escalation.
During the call, Trump allegedly stated to Netanyahu, “They don’t want you there. You need to redeploy,” and reportedly made a similar request concerning the situation in Lebanon. In response to the remarks, Telegrafi reported that Netanyahu defended the continued deployment by citing essential Israeli security requirements.
Furthermore, the reporting noted that the U.S. administration has reportedly been advocating for a comprehensive security agreement between Israel and Syria over the preceding months.
