Israel and Lebanon agree to 10-day ceasefire, Trump says
The truce could be extended if talks make progress, and officials said it is tied to wider efforts for a lasting peace with Iran.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump declared the United States has banned Israel from further bombing in Lebanon, writing on Truth Social, "They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A."
- Following "excellent conversations" between Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, a 10-day ceasefire began Thursday at midnight after Netanyahu agreed to the truce at Trump's request.
- Despite the truce, the Lebanese Army reported Israel violated the ceasefire with intermittent shelling in southern villages, while Israeli forces remain deployed along a defensive line roughly 4 to 10 kilometers from the border.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu touted a "diplomatic breakthrough," noting that Israeli and Lebanese representatives are speaking directly for the first time in 43 years, confirming creation of a security zone.
- President Trump clarified that the Lebanon situation remains distinct from U.S. negotiations with Iran, stating the U.S. will "deal with" Hezbollah separately and the transaction with Iran is unrelated to developments in Lebanon.
