Trump Suggests Syria Should Address Hezbollah Amid Israel Conflict Concerns

Analysed 16 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·Damascus, Syria·Politics
Trump Suggests Syria Should Address Hezbollah Amid Israel Conflict ConcernsPreviousNext

At the G7 summit, US President Donald Trump suggested that Syria, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, should take responsibility for addressing Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah militia, citing high casualties in Israel's ongoing campaign. Trump praised Sharaa's efforts and expressed dissatisfaction with Israel's handling of the conflict, urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be more responsible. However, questions remain about Syria's capacity and regional support to effectively manage Hezbollah amid complex Middle East dynamics.
