        "summary": "US President Donald Trump has claimed Washington needs to keep Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'somewhat sane' regarding the situation in Lebanon, asserting that without his intervention Israel would be 'destroyed'. Trump stated he had advised Netanyahu to adopt a 'softer' approach and boasted that Israeli officials follow his directives, while highlighting the US provision of weapons and B-2 stealth bombers. The remarks come amid ongoing Israeli military operations in Lebanon that have reportedly killed over 3,900 people since March.",
        "content": "<p>US President Donald Trump has said Washington needs to keep Israeli\nAuthority Head Benjamin Netanyahu \u2018somewhat sane\u2019 in his handling of the\nsituation in Lebanon. Although describing his relationship with\nNetanyahu as \u2018good\u2019, Trump claimed in an excerpt of an interview with\nAxios published on Friday that he can control Israel\u2019s military actions\nin Lebanon because officials there \u2018do what Trump says\u2019. Trump\nemphasised America\u2019s military superiority, noting that Washington\nprovides \u2018weapons\u2019 and B-2 stealth bombers to Israel. He also claimed\nthat without his intervention, Israel would be \u2018destroyed\u2019, repeating\nhis statement earlier this week that \u2018without the United States, there\nwould be no Israel\u2019. Earlier this week, Trump revealed that he had\nadvised Netanyahu to take a \u2018softer\u2019 approach in Lebanon. According to\nhim, Israel does not need to \u2018bring down a building every time someone\nfrom Hezbollah enters it\u2019, referring to Israeli airstrikes that\nfrequently target areas in Lebanon, including residential\nneighbourhoods. The agreement was reached after an escalation of the\nconflict that killed 47 people in southern Lebanon and four Israeli\nsoldiers since early Friday. According to official data, Israeli\nmilitary operations in Lebanon since 2 March have killed 3,912 people,\nwounded 11,873 others, and forced more than one million residents to\nflee. Israel continues to occupy several areas in southern Lebanon, some\nof which have been occupied for decades and others since the outbreak of\nthe latest conflict. In recent military operations, Israeli forces have\nreportedly advanced more than 10 kilometres into Lebanese territory.<\/p>",
