The statement marks Israel’s formal endorsement of the US-led ceasefire push, even as concerns persist within sections of its leadership over pausing military operations.

Israel on Wednesday backed US President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend strikes on Iran for two weeks as part of a ceasefire arrangement, contingent on Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and halting attacks in the region.

“Israel supports President Trump’s decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks, subject to Iran immediately opening the straits and stopping all attacks on the US, Israel and countries in the region," the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement.

The statement marks Israel’s formal endorsement of the US-led ceasefire push, even as concerns persist within sections of its leadership over pausing military operations.

“Israel also supports the US effort to ensure that Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat to America, Israel, Iran’s Arab neighbours, and the world," the statement added.
