U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the war in Lebanon, saying he considers it "minor." In a meeting with Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France, he said he proposed to Israel that Syria "handle" Hezbollah. He reiterated his statement that he "didn't like the strike in Beirut," adding: "Israel can't do the job without killing everyone else, so Syria should do the job." When asked if he was "frustrated with Netanyahu," he replied: "No, we have a great relationship."
