▲ U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Local and international media reported on June 8 (local time) that U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a phone conversation, even as Iran declared an end to its retaliatory attacks against Israel.
However, the Israeli government has not yet made an official announcement regarding the call between the two leaders.
Reuters reported that the call took place before President Trump posted on social media urging both Israel and Iran to exercise restraint following the resumption of their military confrontation.
Meanwhile, Israel's Channel 12 reported, "Although there was an announcement from the Iranian side that it would cease attacks on Israel as long as Israel does not continue to strike the pro-Iranian militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel has not yet reached a final decision on how to proceed with the renewed conflict with Iran."
An Israeli official told Channel 12, "We are waiting for clear instructions from the political leadership regarding the direction we should take."
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that a meeting of Israel's security cabinet is scheduled to be convened at 9:00 p.m. today.
Previously, in retaliation for Israel's airstrike on Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, Iran launched 24 ballistic missiles targeting Israel starting last night.
In response, Israel deployed fighter jets twice to conduct airstrikes on nine air defense sites in the central-western region of Iran and a petrochemical complex in the country's southwest.
