US president-elect Donald Trump signed off on a proposal for a ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon during a meeting with Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer at Mar-a-Lago last Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reports.
According to the report, Trump green-lit the proposal following a briefing from Dermer, and expressed hope that it would be implemented before he takes office on January 20, 2025.
Dermer also met with Trump’s son-in-law and former senior adviser Jared Kushner, who is not slated to play a role in the next administration, before departing for Washington for scheduled meetings with senior officials in the outgoing Biden administration.
The report comes after the US ambassador to Lebanon was said to have submitted a draft proposal for a ceasefire agreement to Lebanon’s parliament speaker, Nabih Berri, on Thursday.
