'Axios: US said to have asked Israel to pause Hezbollah strikes'

 The United States and Lebanon asked Israel to pause its direct strikes on Hezbollah, Axios reported on Friday.

According to two sources familiar with the matter, Lebanon asked Israel for this "gesture" ahead of the two countries' negotiations on April 14. The US, which will act as a mediator in the talks, passed on Lebanon's message to Israel. The sources added that the US supports Lebanon's demand and urged Israel to agree to it.

Previously, it was reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to make the process of approving further strikes on Lebanon more sophisticated after a conversation with US President Donald Trump. Moreover, Iran insisted that any fruition of the negotiations with the US must include a ceasefire in Lebanon.
