Netanyahu, Trump Hold Phone Call Amid Regional Tensions

(MENAFN) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump held a phone conversation on Monday amid efforts to ease tensions between Israel and Iran following a sharp escalation triggered by Israeli strikes on Beirut.

According to reports, the discussion took place shortly before Iran announced that it would suspend its attacks on Israel provided that Israeli military operations against Iran also came to an end.

Reports further indicated that Washington and Tel Aviv conveyed a message to Tehran suggesting that no additional attacks would be carried out if Iran refrained from resuming hostilities.

Neither the Israeli government nor the US administration immediately issued an official statement regarding the conversation or any potential understanding related to the halt in military operations.

According to reports citing an Israeli official, Israel decided to stop its attacks on Iran following a request from President Trump.

The latest escalation began on Sunday when Israeli airstrikes targeted Beirut despite an existing ceasefire. Iran responded by launching missiles toward northern Israel, prompting several rounds of Israeli strikes on Iranian targets.

Earlier on Monday, Trump urged both sides to end the confrontation, calling on Israel and Iran to stop fighting "immediately" following the exchange of attacks.

The developments have fueled speculation that diplomatic efforts may be gaining momentum as regional and international actors seek to prevent a broader conflict.
