President Trump told reporters Sunday evening that he would examine Prime Minister Netanyahu's statement that the IDF will not withdraw from Lebanon. Trump said he would not reveal how he intends to resolve the matter but added that he 'solves problems quickly,' name-dropping Netanyahu's nickname 'Bibi' in the exchange, as reported by N12.
President Donald Trump responded Sunday evening to Prime Minister Netanyahu's recent statement that the IDF will not withdraw from Lebanon, telling reporters that while he would 'look into it,' he solves problems quickly — including with Netanyahu. The exchange, reported by the N12 foreign affairs desk, comes as disagreements over the northern front have surfaced between the two leaders over the past week.
As The Zioneer has reported (Monday 23:35), Netanyahu told Trump directly that Israeli forces would remain in Lebanon. In earlier statements, Trump said he hoped the Lebanon situation could be resolved — acknowledging Hezbollah's role — and claimed Iran had 'lost most of its missiles.' Senior White House officials have also indicated that an Israeli withdrawal was not part of any emerging deal.
Sunday's remark, however, appears to be a more reserved response than Trump's earlier confidence. Rather than promising to resolve the matter, Trump said he would 'look into it' — while still asserting his ability to solve problems with the Israeli premier. The exact timeline and mechanism for any resolution remain unclear, and no official White House clarification has been issued.
