The President indicated that Israel should have concluded its military actions more swiftly.<\/p>\n<p>The strikes have cast a shadow over what Trump characterized as a major diplomatic breakthrough with Tehran. The President warned that excessive military action could undermine the broader regional peace initiative he has been working to finalize.<\/p>\n<p>Trump specifically called on Israeli Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong> to exercise greater restraint regarding Lebanon, emphasizing the need for more responsible decision-making in the volatile border region.<\/p>\n<p>The tension highlights a critical sticking point in the emerging Iran deal. Tehran has made clear that any agreement depends on Israel ceasing its military operations in Lebanon. Netanyahu, however, has taken a firm stance, stating Monday that Israeli forces will maintain their presence in Lebanese territory for whatever duration security requirements demand.<\/p>\n<p>The public rebuke from Washington marks a notable moment of friction between the Trump administration and the Netanyahu government, particularly as both countries navigate complex Middle Eastern security dynamics and regional peace efforts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em>With information from <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump criticized Israel&#8217;s weekend strikes on Lebanon for threatening his Iran peace negotiations and called for Prime Minister Netanyahu to show more restraint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6820,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[173,196,6954,2723,96,279,281],"nfg_topic":[135],"class_list":["post-6821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-donald-trump","tag-g7-france","tag-hezbollah","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-lebanon","nfg_topic-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6821"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6821\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6876,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6821\/revisions\/6876"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6821"},{"taxonomy":"nfg_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nfg_topic?post=6821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
