In an interview aired on NBC's Meet the Press, US President Donald Trump advocated for more targeted military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon, expressing a desire for improved living conditions for the Lebanese people. He stated, 'I'd like to see a more surgical attack on Hezbollah,' while clarifying that he does not demand Lebanon's inclusion in negotiations regarding the Iran nuclear deal. This comes amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes in southern Beirut, which are seen as retaliation for Hezbollah's attacks on Israeli territory. Since the escalation of violence on March 2, the conflict has resulted in over 3,560 deaths in Lebanon, while the Israeli military reports 30 casualties on their side. Trump also revealed that he had a difficult phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the situation. He mentioned that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, whom he described as a capable leader, could play a role in facilitating peace in Lebanon. Despite a ceasefire established on April 17, hostilities have continued, highlighting the complex dynamics of the region.
