Israel and Lebanon agreed to implement a ceasefire, according to corroborated reports from Gulf, Indian, other, and Western news outlets. Hezbollah rejected the ceasefire proposal, as confirmed by Gulf, other, Turkish, and Western sources. Contradictory accounts exist: one source reported that Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon on Friday after escalating fighting cast doubt over U.S.-Iran talks, while other sources state Hezbollah explicitly rejected the proposal. Former President Trump said he persuaded Israel and Hezbollah to halt attacks, according to Al Jazeera, but this claim is contradicted by multiple sources reporting Hezbollah’s rejection. The U.S. stated the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire is contingent on Hezbollah ceasing fire and evacuating southern Lebanon, according to The Guardian. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said the ceasefire would start within 24 hours if all sides agreed, according to GDEL. Iran stated that any peace deal with the U.S. must include a ceasefire in Lebanon, according to GDEL, and warned it could step in directly to support Hezbollah if Israel continues or increases its attacks, according to the same source. Tehran's warning is framed as a threat of full-scale war resumption, according to The Hindu. Israel continued airstrikes in southern Lebanon on June 4, according to GDEL. Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israeli forces would not leave Lebanon, according to GDEL. Trump wants to separate talks on Lebanon and the war in Iran, according to The Hindu, and stated he would like to see more 'surgical strikes' against Hezbollah, according to Hindustan Times. After signing the Iran deal, Trump said he expects a ceasefire in Lebanon too, according to The Indian Express. Trump publicly slammed Israel's latest strike on Beirut during peace negotiations with Tehran, according to Times of India, and called the attack 'vicious' and 'too much,' according to the same source. The claim that Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire on Friday is reported only by the New York Post.
