Israeli PM's aide says "so far the operation is proceeding as planned; we are seeing the first cracks in the regime, but patience is needed"; adds that US President Trump and Israeli President Netanyahu speak daily.

This statement can provoke market sensitivity around geopolitical risks, with potential implications for assets such as oil and safe-haven currencies like the USD and JPY, especially if tensions escalate or show signs of resolution.
