President Donald Trump delivered a pointed warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Urging caution as tensions between Israel and Iran continue to simmer despite signs that both sides may be stepping back from the brink of a wider conflict.According to comments Trump made to Axios reporter Barak Ravid, the president directly cautioned Netanyahu against further escalation, warning that Israel could find itself increasingly isolated if military operations continue to expand.
“I said, ‘Bibi, you better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon,’” Trump told Ravid.
The remarks offer a rare glimpse into the private discussions between the two longtime allies as the Middle East remains on edge following another round of missile exchanges and retaliatory strikes.
The latest tensions were triggered after Israel carried out attacks on Hezbollah targets in Beirut over the weekend. The strikes were followed by waves of Iranian missile attacks against Israel. Iran has repeatedly warned that additional Israeli attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon could trigger a return to full-scale conflict.
The warning from Trump comes after a period of reported friction between the two leaders.
