US President Donald Trump says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “gets a little excited sometimes” with military operations.

“We have a little dispute over Lebanon. I say, ‘You can do a little softer touch, Bibi. You don’t have to knock down a building every time someone walks into it that’s from Hezbollah,’” Trump says.
