“It was the calm before the storm,” he wrote in the caption of the post on Truth Social.
His conversation with Netanyahu and the post hinting at resuming the war against Iran came days after reports suggested that the US and Israel are preparing to resume attacks on Iran as soon as this week.
Developments in Israel also suggest the fragile ceasefire would not last long in the absence of a peace deal between the US and Iran.
According to Israeli media reports, Prime Minister Netanyahu is set to convene top aides and ministers on Sunday evening for a security discussion in his office in Jerusalem.
Earlier in the day, Netanyahu had said that “our eyes are open regarding Iran” as he expressed confidence in Israel’s preparations for “every scenario”.
“Certainly, there are many possibilities, and we are prepared for every scenario,” he said during his Cabinet’s weekly briefing.
