Israel is trying to expedite an agreement on a ceasefire in Lebanon. This is stated by Israeli sources with insight into a meeting where a close associate of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brought the message to Donald Trump and Jared Kushner during the week, reports The Washington Post.
The purpose, according to the information, is to ensure that newly elected Trump achieves quick success in foreign policy.
Israel's Minister for Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, visited Trump's residence Mar-a-Lago during his US trip on Sunday before heading to the White House for a meeting with President Joe Biden's staff about the situation in Lebanon.
Neither Trump's staff nor Netanyahu's office has commented on the information.
