Netanyahu says he and Trump share goal to disarm Hezbollah, demilitarize Lebanon

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that he and U.S. President Donald Trump are aligned on the goal of disarming Hezbollah in order to achieve peace between Israel and Lebanon.

Hezbollah "is an Iranian proxy that puts all the citizens of Lebanon at gunpoint and uses Lebanon as a platform to launch terror missiles into our cities, to launch killer drones against our civilians," Netanyahu said in an interview with US television channel CNBC.

"And so if we want to save Lebanon, if we want to get a Lebanese-Israeli peace, as I do, we have to disarm Hezbollah and we have to demilitarize Lebanon. And I know that this is a goal that the president and I share, and that's what we have to do."
