Donald Trump unleashed a new tirade at Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday as he said that Israel would have 'been blown up a long time ago' if he hadn't intervened.

Speaking ahead of a signing ceremony for the Iran peace deal, the US president warned the Israeli prime minister that he is 'not happy' with the continuing war in Lebanon.

Mr Trump repeated his claim that 'there would be no Israel' without him, as he lashed out at Mr Netanyahu again after accusing him of having 'no f*****g judgment' on Sunday.

The US President told reporters at the G7 summit in France that Israel's war with Hezbollah has gone on too long as he urged Mr Netanyahu to be 'more responsible' in Lebanon.

'Israel's fighting Hezbollah too long and too many people are being killed,' he said during a bilateral meeting with the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.

'You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody, because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they're not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you.'

However it appeared that Mr Netanyahu was not heeding the US President's calls as the Israel Defense Forces confirmed it had undertaken several strikes in Lebanon on Tuesday.

The strikes came a day after Israel said its forces would not withdraw from southern Lebanon, saying the deal between Washington and Tehran 'does not bind us in any way'.

But Tehran repeated its demand that Israel withdrawn from Lebanon as part of the secret peace agreement, which is due to be signed on Friday.

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Aragchi said: 'Without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied during this war, the termination of the war will not be complete.'

Meanwhile new details emerged about the potential US-Iran peace deal as the Swiss government said it could be signed on Friday at the Buergenstock mountaintop resort.

The foreign ministry said it had been in close contact with the US, Iran, Pakistan and Qatar about the possible ‌signing between ‌Washington and Tehran, which has already been electronically signed.

US vice president JD Vance and Iran's top negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf are expected to attend the formal signing.

It came as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the UK will 'play our full part' in getting shipping moving through the Strait of Hormuz if the deal is inked.

Speaking at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, Sir Keir congratulated the US president for the 'important breakthrough' that would see oil flow freely again through the vital shipping route out of the Persian Gulf as soon as Friday.

French President Emmanuel Macron had said France could have fighter jets patrolling the strait as soon as Tuesday and had an aircraft carrier already in the region.

Sir Keir told reporters: 'That is hugely important in terms of reopening the strait, very, very important for us in the United Kingdom, because, of course, the strait being closed in the way that it has had an impact on our economy, had an impact on every household across the country, so we'll play our full part in relation to that.'
