Trump Announces Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Amid Continued Tensions and Netanyahu's Warning
US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah following his calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah representatives. Trump claimed Israeli troops heading to Beirut were turned back and both sides agreed to halt attacks. The Lebanese presidency and embassy confirmed Hezbollah's acceptance of a US-backed mutual cessation of hostilities, including a halt to strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs. However, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warned Israel would strike Beirut if Hezbollah attacks persist, and sporadic hostilities continued amid ongoing regional tensions and stalled Iran-US talks.
