According to reports, Trump pledged to lift all military restrictions on Israel on his first day in office.

After his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump intends to lift all restrictions and delays on the supply of military equipment and ammunition to Israel, according to Israeli Channel 12 News.

Trump's team provided assurance as Israel is considering a 60-day cease-fire with Hezbollah, allowing for a window until Trump implements changes.

According to sources, Trump's administration's commitment to temporarily halt military actions in Israel indicates their willingness to resume support without delay once Trump is in office.

Israeli officials have confirmed media reports to Planet Chronicle Digital.

The Israel Defense Forces says its "soldiers are continuing to conduct limited, localized, targeted raids in southern Lebanon, eliminating Hezbollah terrorists and dismantling terror infrastructure and weapons stockpiles both above and below ground."

Israel aims to temporarily suspend hostilities for 60 days, allowing it to replenish its stockpiles and alleviate current constraints, while waiting for the new administration to take office and lift military supply restrictions.

On Thursday, the US ambassador to Lebanon presented a draft truce proposal to Lebanon's Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri to end the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, according to two political sources, without disclosing the specifics.

Brigadier General Daniel Hagari, an IDF spokesperson, stated that the IDF's role in southern Lebanon is to eliminate terrorist infrastructure and safeguard Israeli citizens from Hezbollah threats. This is a responsibility that must be fulfilled, and the IDF must create the necessary conditions for diplomatic action by the political echelon.

Amit Segal, the chief political analyst at Channel 12, who initially reported the story, informed Planet Chronicle Digital that "The Trump administration's commitment allows Israel more flexibility to act, whether it's to achieve a cease-fire in Lebanon or take stronger measures with U.S. support and no limitations."

Segal stated that a cease-fire with Lebanon at this point indicates that Israel's northern goals have been achieved, separating the northern and southern fronts. Although there may be advancements towards tranquility in the north, he emphasized that this does not apply to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
