Il Tempo: Salta la tregua in Libano? Choc Netanyahu per le frasi di Trump sui bombardamenti

Israele ha chiesto alla Casa Bianca chiarimenti dopo il post con cui Donald Trump ha affermato di avere "proibito" ulteriori attacchi aerei in Libano. E' quanto riferiscono ad Axios una fonte statunitense e un'altra fonte a conoscenza dei fatti. "Il premier israeliano Benjamin Netanyahu e i suoi consiglieri - riporta Axios - sono rimasti sbigottiti dal post di Trump, che contraddiceva il testo dell'accordo di cessate il fuoco tra Israele e Libano pubblicato giovedì dal dipartimento di Stato”. Netanyahu è rimasto personalmente attonito, scioccato e allarmato quando è venuto a conoscenza del post, hanno riferito le fonti.

Nel frattempo il Dipartimento del Tesoro statunitense ha sospeso temporaneamente, fino al 16 maggio, la maggior parte delle sanzioni contro l'industria petrolifera russa. Il provvedimento giunge in un momento in cui la ripresa del traffico marittimo attraverso lo Stretto di Hormuz ha provocato un forte calo dei prezzi del petrolio. La decisione, con effetto immediato, riguarda tutte le operazioni di carico e scarico di petrolio dalla Russia e si applica anche alle navi della 'flotta ombra' russa, precedentemente soggette a sanzioni. L'unica eccezione riguarda le transazioni con Iran, Corea del Nord, Cuba e le regioni ucraine occupate, inclusa la Crimea, che rimangono vietate.

Is the truce in Lebanon falling through? Netanyahu shocked by Trump’s remarks on the bombings.

Israel has requested clarifications from the White House after a post by Donald Trump in which he claimed to have “banned” further air strikes in Lebanon. This is what Axios reports, citing a U.S. source and another source familiar with the facts. “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his advisors – Axios reports – were stunned by Trump’s post, which contradicted the text of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon published on Thursday by the State Department.” Netanyahu was personally stunned, shocked, and alarmed when he learned of the post, the sources said.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Department has temporarily suspended, until May 16, most sanctions against the Russian oil industry. The move comes at a time when the resumption of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has caused a sharp drop in oil prices. The decision, effective immediately, covers all oil loading and unloading operations from Russia and applies to Russian ‘shadow fleet’ ships, previously subject to sanctions. The only exception concerns transactions with Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and the occupied Ukrainian regions, including Crimea, which remain prohibited.
