A senior Israeli official said at the end of the security cabinet meeting: "At Trump's request, we are halting strikes on Iran." According to him, "We are continuing in Lebanon at full force according to the equation that if they fire toward the settlements - we will strike in Dahieh. The prime minister's conversation with Trump was overall good. The two countries see eye to eye, even though twice we acted contrary to his public position in the last 24 hours - both in the strike in Beirut and in the response in Iran. Israel has demonstrated the ability to stand up for its right to self-defense even vis-à-vis the president, but without severing ties and while maintaining the strategic partnership. The feeling is that the current escalation is behind us."
