A rift between Israel and the US has deepened as Washington pushes to wind down fighting in Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, Israeli broadcaster Channel 13 reported.

Brad Cooper conveyed the message during a visit to Israel on Saturday that Washington wants progress toward “closing the three fronts.” The push has exposed differences over how far Israel is prepared to scale back its military aggression across the region.
