During his participation in the G7 summit hosted by France, US President Donald Trump openly criticized Israel's military methods in Lebanon to target Hezbollah fighters, saying: "A very large number of people were killed. You don't have to destroy an apartment building every time you look for someone, because there are a lot of people in those apartment buildings, and not all of them are from Hezbollah." Trump stressed that he enjoys a "wonderful relationship" with Netanyahu. He said: "He has to be more responsible about Lebanon. Without the United States, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel, because no other president was willing to do what I did."
