US President Donald Trump said today, at the end of the G7 summit in France, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could take a "softer approach" in Lebanon.

Netanyahu and Trump have clashed repeatedly over Israel's refusal to curb military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, where a cessation of hostilities is one of Iran's key demands.

"Netanyahu is a good man, but sometimes he gets a little carried away," Trump told reporters today, Reuters reported.

"We have a little dispute about Lebanon. I tell him: you can be a little more lenient, Bibi. You don't have to tear down a building every time someone from Hezbollah enters it."

Trump added that he agreed with the description of Israel as a "very small partner" of the US.
