Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently on the phone with US President Donald Trump, a US official tells Axios, after Trump told the news site that he would be calling Netanyahu to tell him not to retaliate to Iran’s missile attacks on northern Israel.

The Prime Minister’s Office does not immediately confirm that the call is taking place.
