US President Donald Trump<\/a> allegedly told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> that Israel should remove IDF troops from Syria and Lebanon during a phone call on Thursday, according to a Tuesday Axios report citing US and Israeli officials.<\/p>\n

Trump claimed that the presence of Israeli military personnel in Syrian territory could create tension and may lead to escalation, one US official told Axios.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t want you there. You should redeploy,\u201d Trump allegedly told Netanyahu, according to the official.<\/p>\n

IDF sources told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday evening that the report took them by surprise and they were unfamiliar with the reported phone call.<\/p>\n

The sources stated that there has been no change on the ground and that there were no indications that the situation would change imminently.<\/p>\n

Amid the developments, Netanyahu is reportedly planning a trip to Washington in the coming days, Walla reported on Tuesday evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Neither the White House nor the Prime Minister’s Office have confirmed the prospect of a meeting.<\/p>\n

The report came as Israel and Lebanon resumed peace talks in Rome<\/a> to discuss the implementation of a trilateral framework between Israel, Lebanon, and the US.<\/p>\n

The agreement, which was signed on June 26 in Washington, is aimed at disarming Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah and facilitating the withdrawal of IDF troops from southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Under the framework agreement, Israel agreed to withdraw troops from two areas, allowing the Lebanese army to take control of the zones and implement measures to disarm Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

The call also reportedly took place one day after Trump met with Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey.<\/p>\n

After Trump and Sharaa\u2019s meeting, the American president announced that the US would move to remove Syria\u2019s designation<\/a> as a state sponsor of terrorism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the decision to remove the designation was due to \u201cpositive changes and counterterrorism actions taken by the Syrian government under President Ahmed al-Sharaa\u201d and would open Syria up to more international trade opportunities.<\/p>\n
