According to Axios, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, has agreed to Donald Trump's request to delay a response to Iran's ballistic missile attacks in order to give Washington a few more days to continue diplomatic efforts to reach an agreement with Tehran.

Based on the report citing a senior American official and a senior Israeli official, Trump asked Netanyahu during a phone call on Sunday night to refrain from carrying out a retaliatory strike, as the American official stated he believed "we are close to reaching a good agreement."

According to the report, Netanyahu attempted to oppose this request and convince Trump to allow an attack on Iran, but ultimately "somewhat informally" agreed to the President's request.

The American official noted that this conversation was much calmer than last week's tense call regarding Israel's plans to attack Beirut, during which Trump had publicly admitted to yelling at Netanyahu and using harsh language.

After this call, the official said: "We think the President has bought some time. He is very firm that we are close to an agreement with Iran. I don't think an Israeli attack is imminent right now."

He also stated: "We are at a critical moment — why would you jeopardize a potential agreement when you are in the fourth round? The President thinks we have been engaged in this issue for three months, and now it is time to end it."

However, no official decision has yet been made in Israel, and according to Channel 12, Netanyahu was still holding a meeting with senior security officials about this matter half an hour ago.
