U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that Israel’s survival is heavily dependent on the United States, declaring that “without America, there would be no Israel.”
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday during the G7 summit in France, Trump emphasized what he described as a strong U.S.–Israel alliance and credited American support as central to Israel’s continued existence.
“We’ve had a very effective relationship. Without the United States, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel, because no other president was willing to do what I did,” Trump said.
The president also criticized the Obama administration’s Iran nuclear agreement, arguing that it contributed to instability in the Middle East and helped fuel the region’s ongoing crisis.
Trump further addressed regional tensions involving Lebanon, urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to exercise greater responsibility regarding the country.
According to Trump, Lebanon once stood out in the region for its education and professional class, but he argued that its current situation has been severely undermined by the presence of Hezbollah.
“The great intellect was in Lebanon. Now it’s just… it’s terrible. They can’t defend themselves,” he said, adding that Lebanon has been “treated the worst” among regional states.
The remarks come amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, where conflicts involving Israel, Lebanon, and Iran-backed groups continue to shape international diplomacy.
