Netanyahu and Trump Speak as Israel Weighs Next Steps

by | Jun 8, 2026 | News

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump held a phone call Monday as Israel considered its next move following the overnight exchange of strikes with Iran.

No official readout of the call was released by either side.

According to Channel 12, Israel has not yet made a final decision on how to proceed. Iran signaled it would halt its attacks provided Israel stops striking Hezbollah in Lebanon — leaving open the possibility of a pause, though Israeli officials said they were still awaiting direction.

“We are waiting for a clear directive from the political leadership regarding the direction we are taking,” an Israeli official told the network.
