Wall Street Journal: Trump sent a firm message to Netanyahu regarding Lebanon
The Wall Street Journal revealed details of a firm phone call between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which focused on the recent military escalation in Lebanon.
The report described the call as shorter than usual between the two sides, during which Trump expressed his deep concern that continued military operations in Lebanon would undermine the existing ceasefire agreement.
According to the WSJ, Trump also stressed the need to avoid any steps that would widen the circle of conflict in the region.
The newspaper noted that the US message included a clear warning about the repercussions of the fighting on regional stability, especially in light of escalating tensions on several fronts in the Middle East.
It’s worth noting that Pakistan announced on April 8 that Iran and the United States, along with their allies, had agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon, to take effect immediately.
While Netanyahu violated this agreement with US support, Washington claimed that the agreement didn’t include Lebanon.
On the very day the agreement was announced, the occupying entity committed widespread attacks on Lebanese territory and massacres against civilians, particularly in Beirut.
In contrast, Iran insists on the commitment of the United States and Israel to include Lebanon in the ceasefire agreement reached through Pakistani mediation.
