Trump Promises Military Support to Israel

President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to lift all restrictions on military supplies to Israel immediately after his inauguration, which coincides with Israel's consideration of a 60-day cease-fire with Hezbollah. This commitment is expected to allow Israel to replenish its military stockpiles without delay, as the Trump administration seeks to clarify U.S. backing amid ongoing tensions in the region. Current U.S. restrictions include an embargo on specific weapons shipments, impacting Israel's operational capabilities in both Lebanon and Gaza. The cease-fire aims to temporarily halt hostilities until Trump's administration takes office, potentially enabling a resumption of military actions if necessary. Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces are increasing military pressure on Hezbollah, emphasizing their role in countering threats to Israeli citizens. This dual strategy of military readiness and diplomatic efforts reflects Trump's intent to support Israel while also pursuing peace.
