Trump Says Israel Will Follow His Lead Amid US Intel Warnings

United States President Donald Trump has asserted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “does as I say” and holds deep respect for him. He made the remarks as Israeli strikes in Lebanon revived tensions, threatening his fragile Middle East peace initiative. US intelligence agencies have reportedly cautioned that Netanyahu might seek to undermine Trump’s deal, even as a memorandum of understanding called for an immediate halt to hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. The Israeli leader, who was not party to the agreement, insists Israel will maintain its security zone along the border. After another ceasefire was agreed, both sides exchanged fire, with dozens killed and more wounded. Trump later told NBC News he spoke with Israeli officials to urge a pause in attacks, though he did not confirm if he spoke directly with Netanyahu.
