Last Updated:June 17, 2026, 23:41 IST

Trump insisted that the US has maintained communication with its allies and rejected claims that Israel was excluded from key details of the deal.

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Washington “did send a copy" of its accord with Iran aimed at ending the war, pushing back on reports suggesting tensions with Israel over access to the agreement.

Speaking on the sidelines of the G7 summit, Trump insisted that the US has maintained communication with its allies and rejected claims that Israel was excluded from key details of the deal.

He also reaffirmed his “good relationship" with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while offering pointed criticism of Israel’s military actions in Lebanon.

Feel Bad For Lebanon: Trump

“It’s appropriate that we release the agreement and we did send a copy to Israel, by the way, they’ve been a good partner again," Trump said. He added that while Israel had a strong partnership with the US, “they could do better with respect to Hezbollah."

He continued, “I’m not saying they shouldn’t protect themselves. I’m saying when two drones are shot into the desert and drop harmlessly, you don’t have to knock down buildings in Beirut. They could behave better and frankly they could do a better job. I love them as a partner… but I feel very bad for Lebanon."
