Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he decided to "hold fire" against Iran after Tehran stopped its attacks but warned that Israel would respond with force if Iran and Hezbollah resumed attacks.
Netanyahu said he had delivered the same message to US President Donald Trump.
“If they make a mistake and resume attacks we will respond powerfully. Israel has the right to defend itself and we implement it when needed,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu said Iran and Hezbollah had tried to establish a new equation in which they could fire on Israel without facing an Israeli response.
“That is unacceptable,” he said.
