Trump Warns Israel: Exercise Restraint

US President Donald Trump has expressed strong anger over Israel’s strikes on Hezbollah following a ceasefire violation. He warned that the escalation could undermine ongoing diplomatic efforts, reportedly telling Tel Aviv to “use some common sense” in handling the situation.

In a media interview, Trump said he had personally urged Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Hezbollah. He added that rising tensions along the Israel–Lebanon border could impact broader peace initiatives involving Iran. He also confirmed speaking with Israeli officials and pressing for restraint, but did not clarify whether he spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
