United States President Donald Trump supposedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pull Israeli troops from Syria and Lebanon, APA reports citing Axios.
The news platform quoted both US and Israeli officials, who shared that Trump allegedly told Netanyahu that the presence of Israeli forces in Syrian territory adds to tensions and could lead to another escalation. "They don't want you there. You should redeploy," the US president advised the Israeli premier, according to the sources, while Netanyahu pushed back, citing the need for security zones.
