Trump Claims Israel and Hezbollah Agreed to Ceasefire; Accounts Differ on Implementation
Former President Donald Trump said Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to stop shooting at each other, with Netanyahu agreeing to halt operations near Beirut and Hezbollah agreeing to stop attacks on Israel. However, conflicting reports suggest hostilities continue, and Iran has suspended U.S. negotiations unless Israel ends its operations in Lebanon.
Former President Donald Trump said Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to stop shooting at each other, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreeing to halt operations near Beirut and Hezbollah agreeing to stop attacks on Israel. Iran has suspended negotiations with the United States unless Israel stops fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Accounts differ on whether the ceasefire is being honored. Trump's claim contradicts reports that Israeli strikes hit towns in southern Lebanon and that Israeli ground forces pushed deeper into Lebanon, according to AP News. It also contradicts reports that Hezbollah fired rockets at northern Israel, including near Haifa, on the same day the agreement was allegedly made, according to AP News.
Netanyahu’s reported statement that Israel will stop shooting only after liquidating civilians, women and children — as cited in some reports — further contradicts the claim of a full cessation of hostilities. Additionally, CBS News reported that Israel launched airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs on Sunday, while Iran retaliated against Israel with a strike on Monday, an action CBS News said Iran blamed on the U.S. Trump, according to CBS News, called on Israel to refrain from retaliating against Iran’s missiles.
The Houthi rebels announced a ban on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, according to CBS News. A U.S. official, according to Bluesky, said Netanyahu told Trump to keep quiet and not interfere with Israel’s war against the Palestinians, Lebanon, and Iran.
