The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported on Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed his ministers during a government meeting that U.S. President Donald Trump gave him the green light to act in Lebanon.
This statement comes amid rising tensions with Hezbollah, as Israeli reports indicate that the group is seeking to rebuild its military capabilities in northern Lebanon, while Israel continues its military preparations in anticipation of any potential confrontation.
This announcement reflects the level of political and military coordination between Tel Aviv and Washington, raising concerns that Lebanon may witness a new escalation that could open the door to a wide-ranging confrontation in the region.
