The Trump administration also made an expansion for the Trus in Lebanon, which effectively pushed the deadline for Israel’s full return from the country – originally scheduled for Monday – by 18 February.

But tension is more going on in the region, putting a renewed fight in both Gaza and Lebanon, Netanyahu threatened to return to war regularly.
Despite emphasizing his role in achieving the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, Trump said that it would be the deal last week that it is “not confident”.
“This is not our war; This is his war, “the US President told reporters.
The US provides Israel with billions of dollars every year in military aid. In one of his first decree, Trump abandoned almost all international assistance, except for military aid to Egypt and Israel.
Last week, Trump also authorized the transfer of 900 kg (2,000 pounds) bombs to Israel, which was prevented by his predecessor, former US President Joe Biden in May last year.
Netanyahu, a leader, for whom the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant on alleged war crimes in Gaza, thanked for that decision on Sunday.
The Israeli Prime Minister said in a social media post, “Thank you, President Trump, Israel to give his promise to Israel to face his common enemies and to give a promise to Israel to secure the future of peace and prosperity,” .
Trump has been Israeli supporters. During his first term, he transferred the American Embassy to Jerusalem and recognized Israeli claims for Syrian -occupied Golan Heights.
But as a candidate and in his inaugural speech last week, Trump promised to pursue peace in the US foreign policy.
“We will measure our success not only with those battles that we win, but also by wars that we end. And, perhaps the most important thing is that we never meet war, ”he said after taking oath of office.
“My proud legacy will be of a peacemaker and unilateral.”
