Trump thinks Israel is 'going to' withdraw from south Lebanon

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he believes that Israel will eventually withdraw from south Lebanon.

“Well, I talked to Bibi (Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu) about that. I think they’re going to, I think they want to,” Trump said in response to a reporter’s question, during a joint press conference in Turkey with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa.

“They’re getting along with Lebanon, they’re signing deals with Lebanon – first time ever … It’s a big thing; first time in many years,” Trump added about the latest Lebanese-Israeli negotiations and framework agreement.

Asked about a possible Syrian intervention in Lebanon, Trump said: “They could help, we’ll find out. I think we’re making a lot of progress.”
