U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reduce military strikes in Lebanon to ensure the success of ongoing ceasefire efforts with Iran. The request comes amid fears that escalating Israeli attacks on Hezbollah could derail sensitive diplomatic negotiations. While Israel maintains that Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire agreement, continued bombardments have raised tensions and drawn international concern. The move signals Washington’s attempt to stabilise the region and prevent further escalation, as crucial peace talks with Iran are expected to proceed in the coming days. (PC: AFP)
