Concept of a simply ADORABLE plan...Trump thinks he's put a leash on Bibi and that he's going to "scale it back" USA!

Trump Says Israel Is 'Scaling Back' Lebanon Attacks And Will 'Low-Key It'

With Israel's continued bombing of Lebanon threatening to derail the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, President Donald Trump on Thursday said he'd asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reduce air strikes.

Tehran has said Israel's barrage violates the truce, though the Trump administration insists halting fighting between Israel and Hezbollah was never part of the two-week amnesty.

In any case, Trump told NBC News that the Israelis are “scaling back” operations in Lebanon.

“I spoke with Bibi, and he’s going to low-key it,” said Trump, referring to phone call with Netanyahu a day earlier. “I just think we have to be sort of a little more low-key.”

Netanyahu has ordered his government to start direct talks with Lebanon, but has insisted attacks on Hezbollah will not be paused.
