US President Donald Trump made strong remarks about America’s support for Israel during the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France. He said that without the United States, Israel would not exist in its current form. He went further by claiming, “Without me, there would be no Israel,” because no other president was willing to give the same level of backing.
Trump made these comments during a meeting with Qatar’s Emir on the sidelines of the summit. He highlighted his past efforts in protecting Israel and stressed the close relationship between the two countries. His words came as global leaders discussed Middle East conflicts and security issues.
At the same time, Trump criticised recent Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon. He called some actions “vicious” and “too much,” saying they caused too many civilian deaths. He told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to act more responsibly and suggested letting Syria handle Hezbollah in certain areas.
These statements have sparked debate. Supporters see them as honest talk about US power, while critics worry they show tension in the US-Israel alliance. The comments come after Trump helped reach a peace deal with Iran, which many hope will bring more stability to the region.
Trump’s words remind everyone of the important but sometimes complicated friendship between the US and Israel. The world is watching how this will affect future peace efforts in the Middle East.
