The US president earlier announced a ten-day truce has been agreed between Israel and Lebanon
A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will include the Lebanese-based militant group Hezbollah, US President Donald Trump has said, following his earlier announcement of the deal.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Trump announced an upcoming meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, adding that “they’re going to be having a ceasefire, and that will include Hezbollah.”
His remarks followed an earlier announcement on Truth Social that a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon had been agreed following talks in Washington. He said the truce would begin at 5 PM EST (22:00 GMT). The post, however, did not mention Hezbollah.
