The briefing also comes after President Trump announced on Thursday that Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their temporary truce for another three weeks. He expanded the fragile ceasefire with Iran "indefinitely" earlier this week, willing the Iranian regime to come back to the negotiating table.
