Former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly criticized Israel’s military tactics in Lebanon, specifically objecting to the bombing of residential buildings while targeting Hezbollah militants. Trump stated that such actions were excessive and resulted in unnecessary civilian deaths. The criticism comes amidst ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iran-aligned Hezbollah group. Trump also expressed concern that Israeli attacks in Beirut could jeopardize potential peace negotiations with Iran, suggesting a link between the two issues. He indicated his frustration with the prolonged nature of the conflict, stating Israel has been fighting Hezbollah for “too long.” This marks a rare instance of Trump publicly rebuking Israeli military actions. The comments were made on Tuesday and reflect a departure from his administration’s generally supportive stance toward Israel.
