President Donald Trump has reportedly pressed Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu to limit Israel’s military operations in Lebanon and shift toward diplomatic engagement, according to a report.

CNN, citing a U.S. official and another source familiar with the matter, reported that the conversation took place on April 8. During the discussion, Trump encouraged Netanyahu to reduce the intensity of Israeli strikes in Lebanon and instead pursue negotiations with the Lebanese government aimed at addressing the disarmament of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization.

It is not clear whether Netanyahu agreed to the proposal or merely took note of it.

An Israeli official quoted in the report indicated that a ceasefire is not currently being considered, emphasizing that any diplomatic track would move forward “under fire.”

At the same time, Israeli military operations in Lebanon have continued, including strikes carried out on Thursday. Residents in Beirut’s southern suburbs were instructed to evacuate ahead of expected military action.

Israel’s latest strikes have drawn criticism from several European nations, with reports indicating that the operations have caused civilian injuries and casualties.

Separately, signals from Iran suggest it may reevaluate its understandings with the United States if Israeli attacks in Lebanon persist.
