US President Donald Trump indicates that Washington has brokered a new ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
“I had a very productive call with Prime Minister [Benjamin] Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no troops going to Beirut, and any troops that are on their way, have already been turned back,” Trump writes on Truth Social. A military official says no Israeli troops were en route to Beirut.
“Likewise — through highly placed representatives — I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — that Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel,” Trump adds.
