US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he wants Israel “to use good judgment.”<\/p>\n
“No. I want Israel to be able to protect themselves, but I do want them to use good judgment,” Trump told reporters when asked whether he wants Israel to halt its military campaign in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
His remarks came during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France.<\/p>\n
Tensions continue to flare along the Lebanese-Israeli border despite a recent understanding between Washington and Tehran aimed at ending their military conflict that erupted after Israel and the US launched attacks against Iran on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n
On Monday, the Lebanese group Hezbollah welcomed the agreement to end the war, while reaffirming its commitment to Lebanon’s right to self-defense until Israel fully withdraws from Lebanese territory and all prisoners are returned.<\/p>\n
Hezbollah\u2019s drones have recently become a growing concern for Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu describing them as a \u201cmajor threat\u201d and demanding that the military find a solution.<\/p>\n
Israel has been waging an offensive on Lebanon since March 2 that has left thousands killed and wounded more than 1 million displaced, according to the latest official figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Diyar Guldogan 17 June 2026\u2022Update: 17 June 2026 US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he wants Israel…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":497563,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43,180804],"class_list":["post-497562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-sitekeywords"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497562"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497562\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/497563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
