Following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a new ceasefire in Lebanon, an Israeli source tells the Ynet news site that Israel has postponed the planned strikes on Beirut at the request of the United States, adding that Washington is advancing a ceasefire initiative and asked Israel to wait.
An Israeli official told Ynet earlier today that Israel had coordinated the planned attack with the Americans. The outlet notes the possibility that the purpose of instructing the attack was to pressure Hezbollah into agreeing to a ceasefire.
