ynet reported Friday afternoon, citing an unnamed source, that the United States conveyed to Israel a message to de-escalate the situation on the Lebanon front. The report adds to growing US pressure on Jerusalem to show restraint amid ongoing operations against Hezbollah.
A report by ynet Friday afternoon said the United States has told Israel to reduce tensions in Lebanon. The message, attributed to an unnamed source, was described as a direct diplomatic communication from Washington to Jerusalem. The report did not specify whether the request was conveyed through official channels or via backchannel talks.
The development adds to ongoing US pressure on Israel to de-escalate the northern front. As The Zioneer has reported, President Trump publicly called for a ceasefire with Hezbollah in June, and Senator Lindsey Graham also urged Lebanese to expect 'help.' The precise nature of the current US request — whether a formal demand or a recommendation — remains unclear.
