Nava Freiberg is The Times of Israel's deputy diplomatic correspondent.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump concluded a phone call a short while ago, according to Hebrew media reports.

There has been no official statement on the matter.

No final decision has been made in Israel on how to proceed in the renewed fight with Iran, after Tehran announced it would halt its attacks so long as Israel does not continue to strike Hezbollah in Lebanon, Channel 12 reports.

“We are waiting for a clear directive from the political leadership regarding the direction we are taking,” an Israeli official tells Channel 12.
