Washington: (RightNow) U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to withdraw Israeli troops from Syria and Lebanon.

In a recent phone call, Trump informed Netanyahu that the presence of Israeli forces in Syria could escalate tensions, suggesting a reduction in military presence.
