Trump Called Netanyahu to Ask Him to Scale Back' Attacks on Lebanon as Ceasefire Hangs in the Balance: Report
"President Trump reportedly called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and asked him to ease up on his country's strikes on Lebanon. Despite this, Israel has seemingly ramped up its attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon."
"Iran has warned that the ceasefire could be called off in response to Israel's actions. In an effort to protect the ceasefire, Trump has urged Netanyahu to scale back Israel's attacks."
"Netanyahu announced that Israel would begin negotiations with Lebanon, focusing on disarming Hezbollah and establishing peaceful relations between Israel and Lebanon."
President Trump requested Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to ease military actions against Lebanon following a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Despite this, Israel intensified its strikes against Hezbollah. U.S. and Israeli officials claimed Lebanon was not included in the ceasefire, while Iranian and Pakistani officials disagreed. Iran warned that the ceasefire could be jeopardized due to Israel's actions. Netanyahu announced negotiations with Lebanon aimed at disarming Hezbollah and fostering peaceful relations, responding to Lebanon's calls for direct talks. These negotiations are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. next week.
