Israel has paused its airstrikes on Lebanon after US President Donald Trump urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to adopt a more restrained military approach. This development follows a series of intense strikes that resulted in over 300 deaths and 1,150 injuries, primarily among civilians, which threatened a fragile ceasefire with Iran. In response to the escalating violence, Netanyahu has instructed his ministers to pursue direct negotiations with Lebanon, focusing on disarming the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. However, a Lebanese official stated that Beirut would only enter talks if a truce is established first. The conflict is rooted in decades of enmity, with recent clashes marking a significant escalation. Despite the US's involvement in facilitating discussions, neither Israel nor Lebanon has confirmed the upcoming negotiations. The situation remains tense as Hezbollah continues to engage Israeli forces in southern Lebanon.
