Israeli officials fear Trump may seek to limit IDF operations in Lebanon

Israeli officials are working around the clock to prevent what they fear may be a U.S. request to scale back Israeli military operations in Lebanon, not only in the Dahieh area but more broadly, according to Israeli media. The concern is that Iran will press the issue in talks with Washington, leading President Trump to ask Israel to reduce operations as a gesture to facilitate U.S.-Iran negotiations. The tripartite agreement signed last week between Israel, Lebanon, and the U.S. was designed to sever the link between Tehran and Lebanon, officials say.
