Trump, Netanyahu agree Lebanon operation grace period

US and Iranian officials met in Islamabad but could not revive ceasefire negotiations, according to a senior analyst. The breakdown is viewed as a deliberate move to give Israel additional time to complete its military objectives in Lebanon. Israeli media reported that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have agreed on a grace period for the operation. The stalled talks raise concerns that hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah could intensify as diplomatic pressure eases. Both sides are now focusing on battlefield developments rather than diplomatic resolution.
