Is Trump trying to be the peacemaker in the Middle East? The call to withdraw troops sounds familiar, but the question of who will cover the buffer zone issue likely means more wrangling.

CoinBureau news. According to Axios, during a phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said that the Israeli army should redeploy forces from Syria, and urged Israel to take similar action in Lebanon. Netanyahu emphasized that Israel needs to keep a security buffer zone along the border. After the Trump administration pushed the Israeli army to withdraw from Syrian territory it controlled following the fall of the Assad regime at the end of 2024, the U.S. also engaged in mediation to implement the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire framework, pushing the Israeli army to withdraw from some areas in southern Lebanon.
