A report circulating in Israeli media claims that President Donald Trump has told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to begin an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon and Syria. The report, which cites an unnamed source, adds to a series of recent US calls for de-escalation on multiple fronts.
A single subscribed Israeli channel reports tonight that President Donald Trump has told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to begin an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon and Syria. The report, which cites an unnamed source, does not provide further details on timing or scope.
This comes amid a sustained push by the Trump administration for de-escalation across Israel's northern borders. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Trump has made repeated calls for a full ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, and has pressed for a resumption of negotiations with Syria. Earlier today, The Zioneer reported that Trump had asked Netanyahu to resume Syria talks with an IDF withdrawal as a goal.
The new report, if accurate, would represent a significant hardening of US pressure, explicitly linking Lebanon and Syria in a single demand for withdrawal. The report is unverified and based on a single source.
