Trump urged Netanyahu to begin withdrawing Israeli troops from Syria and Lebanon

U.S. President Donald Trump called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to begin the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Syria and Lebanon. This was reported by Axios citing sources, reports UNN. 

President Trump said in a phone call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel should begin redeploying its troops from Syria, and urged him to do the same in Lebanon 

As the publication writes, three months before elections that are existentially important for his political survival and personal freedom, Netanyahu is unlikely to take any significant steps to withdraw Israeli troops from the territory he occupies in Syria or allow further redeployments in Lebanon beyond the one he has already agreed to.

But Trump's requests increase pressure on the Israeli leader. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) currently occupy a significant part of southern Lebanon and southern Syria - a presence that, according to the government, is necessary to prevent another invasion similar to the one that occurred on October 7 

One U.S. official said Trump told Netanyahu that the presence of Israeli military on Syrian territory creates tension and could lead to escalation.

They don't want you to be there. You should redeploy 

Recall 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will deliver a powerful strike on Iran if Tehran attacks his country.
