A senior Israeli official told News 14 that Prime Minister Netanyahu had a good conversation with President Trump, and that despite acting contrary to Trump's public position twice in the past day—with the strike in Beirut and the response in Iran—Israel demonstrated its ability to uphold its right to self-defense without damaging the strategic partnership. The official added that operations in Lebanon will continue, including the 'Dahiya equation' if communities are fired upon.
