US President Donald Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in their most recent conversation to scale back strikes on Lebanon and push for negotiations. Source: CNN, citing an unnamed US official and another anonymous source, as reported by European Pravda Details: According to the sources, during a conversation on 8 April Trump asked Netanyahu to ease strikes on Lebanese territory and negotiate with Lebanon's official authorities on the disarmament of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah group. It is unclear whether Netanyahu agreed to this or merely took note of Trump's request. An Israeli official told CNN that a ceasefire is not yet on the table and "talks will be held under fire". The Israeli army continued to strike Lebanese territory on Thursday and warned residents of the southern suburbs of Beirut that the area would be dangerous. A number of European countries have expressed outrage over Israel's latest strikes on Lebanese territory as part of its campaign against Hezbollah, which have killed hundreds of civilians and left around one thousand injured. There have been signals from Iran that it intends to withdraw from the agreement with the US if Israel continues its strikes on Lebanon. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
