Israeli airstrikes in Beirut have ceased for the past three days following a request from US President Joe Biden to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This move is reportedly part of a broader understanding between the US and Israel regarding potential strikes on Iranian targets. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have halted strikes in Beirut but continue operations in Southern Lebanon. Former US President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, has claimed that he spoke with Netanyahu two days ago, suggesting ongoing coordination between them.
