U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa would “take care” of Hezbollah in a different way from Israel.
“He wouldn’t knock down buildings. I’d hate to see buildings knocked down,” Trump told Fox News, adding that he believes Sharaa would be “more precise” than Israel.
Trump added that Israel would "redeploy" from south Lebanon and south Syria, and that would be "good."
He already expressed his willingness several times to entrust the Hezbollah issue to Syria, but Sharaa has denied any intention of becoming involved.
