Tensions in the Middle East have reached a boiling point, with the situation in Beirut on the brink of all-out war. In a surprise move, US President Donald Trump has claimed a diplomatic breakthrough after a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aimed at halting the escalation of violence toward the Lebanese capital. According to sources, the conversation between the two leaders was a crucial factor in persuading Israel to stand down its military operations, which had been threatening to spill over into the densely populated city. The development comes as a welcome respite for the people of Lebanon, who have been caught in the crossfire of a decades-old conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
