President Donald Trump announced a new ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. He engaged in discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and representatives of Hezbollah.
On Truth Social, President Trump stated, “I had a conversation with Bibi Netanyahu today, asking him not to proceed with a major raid on Beirut, Lebanon. He turned his troops around. Thank you, Bibi! I also spoke with representatives of Hezbollah leaders, who agreed to stop shooting at Israel and its soldiers. Similarly, Israel agreed to cease fire.” He expressed hope that the ceasefire could last indefinitely.
The Lebanese Presidency X account confirmed the agreement on Monday. The terms include a mutual cessation of attacks, with Israel avoiding firing upon Beirut’s southern suburbs and Hezbollah not targeting Israel. They aim to expand the “ceasefire framework” to cover all Lebanese territories.
Meetings scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday will aim to further discussions and strengthen the agreement. The ceasefire has been in place since mid-April, according to the Associated Press. This development occurs during ongoing U.S. negotiations with Iran.
