Mars Finance News reports: On April 10, citing a report from The Wall Street Journal in the United States on the 9th, President Trump has asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reduce the intensity of strikes against Lebanon in order to prevent Israel’s military actions in Lebanon from interfering with the upcoming U.S.-Iran negotiations. The report said that during a phone call with Netanyahu, Trump “sternly” conveyed that the United States understands Israel’s security demands, but that, to protect the upcoming negotiations, Israel should slow down its military strikes against Lebanon.

A U.S. official revealed that the time of this call between the two was “shorter than before.” The official said that the Trump administration had never previously asked Israel to ease its military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon. This pressure was prompted by Iran and the mediator, Pakistan, accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement. Trump is concerned that continued strikes could affect the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and disrupt the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. (Xinhua)
