Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly been contacting US President Donald Trump daily, urging him to resume military strikes against Iran as Washington considers ending the conflict, according to the Financial Times. A person familiar with the discussions said those opposed to continuing the war are working to counter Netanyahu’s appeals. The reported calls come as Arab leaders are pressing Trump to pursue diplomacy. The US has continued occasional strikes, including attacks on Iran’s Qeshm Island on November 3 and 6. Trump confirmed a recent US operation, saying American forces had destroyed an Iranian anti-aircraft system. The conflict has also become a political challenge for Trump following Republican losses in congressional elections. (PC: AP)
