Speaking alongside Qatar's emir in Évian-les-Bains, Trump
said no other president matched his actions, crediting them with preventing
Israel's destruction amid Iran's nuclear threats.
He voiced frustration with Netanyahu's 'vicious' strikes in
Beirut, suggesting Syria's leader—whom he said he installed—could handle
Hezbollah better, while pushing a U.S.-Iran deal to curb nukes and reopen key
shipping lanes.
The remarks fueled sharp divides, with some seeing Israel's deep reliance on American aid and others pointing to its victories in 1948, 1967, and 1973 wars.
