TEL AVIV—President Trump rebuked Israel on Sunday after Israel struck Beirut in response to Hezbollah drone attacks, calling it a disproportionate response that threatened to scuttle a deal with Iran.
“This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran,” Trump said in a post on social media. “Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process.”
