Israel has decided to halt its strikes against Iran, an Israeli official says.
A regional official also says the US has told Iran there will be no more attacks by Israel if Tehran halts its missile strikes, and that Israel has agreed to halt attacks for now.
Separately, an Israeli official tells Hebrew media outlets that the decision came at the request of US President Donald Trump, but stresses Israel will not stop its offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, saying, “The sense is that this round of fighting is behind us. We are awaiting a final decision from the political leadership.”
Hebrew media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump spoke over the phone today, ahead of Tehran’s announcement that it would cease attacks if Israel stopped its offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The Prime Minister’s Office has not responded to repeated requests for comment since the escalation in fighting against Hezbollah and Iran began last night.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
