President Donald Trump was asked by a reporter whether he was frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's bombing of Lebanon and whether it affected negotiations. Trump responded, 'No. We disagree on certain things, but he is a very good partner. We did a good job. There has probably never been anything like it.' The comments come amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, where Israeli airstrikes have been reported. Trump's remarks suggest continued U.S. support for Netanyahu's government despite differences over specific military actions.
