President Trump said Thursday that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire set to begin at 5 p.m. EST Tuesday, following “excellent conversations” with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump stated the agreement follows a meeting earlier this week in Washington, D.C., where Israeli and Lebanese officials met for the first time in 34 years alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, marking a rare step toward direct engagement between the two countries.
The president said he has directed Vice President JD Vance, Secretary Rubio, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan “Razin’” Caine to coordinate with both nations in efforts to secure a lasting peace agreement.
