Israel supports U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks, but the ceasefire does not include Lebanon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Wednesday. The premier’s office said Israel backed the U.S. move provided Tehran immediately opened the strait and stopped attacks against the United States, Israel and countries in the region.
The remarks came after Washington announced a two-week suspension of attacks against Iran as part of efforts to de-escalate the conflict and open a window for negotiations.
Israel also said it supported U.S. efforts to ensure Iran no longer posed a nuclear, missile or “terror” threat to the U.S., Israel and Iran’s Arab neighbours, adding that Washington had told Israel it was committed to achieving their shared goals in upcoming negotiations. Iran said on Wednesday negotiations with the U.S. would begin on Friday, April 10 in Islamabad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
