United States President Donald Trump has advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from engaging in a full-scale war against Lebanon.
According to US media reports, President Trump told the Israeli premier to carry out only limited, surgical strikes and to avoid restarting a comprehensive war.
In a telephone interview with a US news website, President Trump said Washington did not wish the ongoing tensions in Lebanon to escalate into a full conflict.
It is recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump recently held an important telephone conversation, during which detailed discussions were held on several global disputes, including Iran’s nuclear programme and the war in Ukraine.
According to the Kremlin, President Putin presented certain proposals and ideas to Trump regarding the ongoing tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme, and emphasised the need for a diplomatic solution under the present circumstances.
A Kremlin spokesman said the aim was to pave the way for peace on humanitarian grounds on a day of historic significance. Both leaders also agreed to work together to improve bilateral relations and to ensure stability in global markets, particularly oil prices.
