Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Monday the Jewish state would “hold fire” after President Trump called on Israel and Iran to return to a cease-fire.
Netanyahu said the fighting “on the Iran front” had been contained, suggesting Israel may still strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, which Iran has tried to link to the ongoing US-Israel-Iran cease-fire.

Iran also declared it would stop firing on Israel shortly before Netanyahu’s announcement.
“If they [Iran] make a mistake and resume attacks we will respond powerfully,” Netanyahu said. “Israel has the right to defend itself and we implement it when needed.”
