Donald Trump announces ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah
United States President Donald Trump claimed that Israel and Hezbollah reached an agreement to cease hostilities following direct communications. Trump stated he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who purportedly halted troop movements toward Beirut. Furthermore, the U.S. President reported engaging with high-level Hezbollah representatives to secure a mutual end to attacks. The situation remains volatile, as the Iranian Foreign Ministry accused both the U.S. and Israel of violating ceasefires, while Iranian state media reported a suspension of indirect negotiations with Washington. The conflict, which escalated after March 2, has resulted in the displacement of over 1.2 million Lebanese. Meanwhile, the Israeli military reported recent territorial gains in southern Lebanon, including the capture of Beaufort Castle. President Trump expressed indifference regarding reports of frozen talks with Iran, suggesting that a period of silence could be beneficial.
