President Trump calls for ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah amid diplomatic shift

U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an interview with NBC News that he has urged Israel to agree to a ceasefire with the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. While Trump did not explicitly confirm if he spoke directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he emphasized the need for calm and strategic decision-making. Following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran aimed at ending the war, Trump also declared that the U.S. expects a full ceasefire across all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel. He described the recent diplomatic arrangement with Iran as a victory for the United States, despite criticism from political opponents. Meanwhile, President Trump is scheduled to spend the weekend at Camp David with his family, marking a rare visit to the presidential retreat. Official sources stated that the trip will include various political meetings. The site previously hosted Trump in June 2025 for discussions on Iran and regional conflicts, though the current visit coincides with Father's Day weekend.
