Trump urged Netanyahu to pull Israeli troops out of Syria, Lebanon: Report
US President Donald Trump reportedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to withdraw Israeli troops from Syria and Lebanon during a phone call on Thursday, according to an Axios report on Tuesday. Citing US and Israeli officials, the report stated that Trump told Netanyahu that Israel's military presence in Syria was causing tensions and could escalate. Trump reportedly said, "They don't want you there. You should redeploy." A similar request was made regarding Lebanon, though Netanyahu argued for the necessity of security zones along Israel's borders. This call followed Trump's meeting with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa at the NATO summit in Türkiye, as the Trump administration seeks to advance a security arrangement between Israel and Syria.
