U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that Hezbollah’s influence in Lebanon has been “totally shattered,” as he hailed progress in the region during a landmark address to Israel’s Knesset.
“In Lebanon, the dagger of Hezbollah, long aimed at Israel’s throat, has been totally shattered,” Trump said in a speech at Israel’s Knesset largely focused on the U.S.-brokered ceasefire and captive exchange deal between Israel and Hamas.
The president said Washington was “actively supporting the new President of Lebanon and his mission to permanently disarm Hezbollah’s terror brigades,” adding that “he’s doing very well.”
Trump also voiced optimism about Lebanon’s political trajectory, saying he hoped the Lebanese people would “build a thriving state at peace with its neighbors.”
“Good things are happening there, really good things,” he said.
