Fresh reports suggest tensions are emerging between U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's military operations in Lebanon. While Trump described their phone call as "very productive" and claimed progress toward de-escalation, Netanyahu publicly signaled that Israel would continue striking Hezbollah targets if attacks persist. According to media reports, the conversation became heated, with disagreements over the scope of Israel's response and its impact on broader U.S.-Iran diplomacy. As Israel and Lebanon prepare for another round of talks in Washington, the spotlight is now on whether diplomatic pressure can prevent further escalation in the region.
