Trump: Israel and Lebanon agree to 10-day ceasefire

President Trump said Thursday that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire after meeting in Washington to try and strike a peace deal.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had an “excellent conversation” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Jospeh Aoun.

“These two Leaders have agreed that in order to achieve PEACE between their Countries, they will formally begin a 10 Day CEASEFIRE at 5 P.M. EST,” the president wrote.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors on Tuesday.

Trump said he has directed Vice President Vance, Rubio and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine “to work with Israel and Lebanon to achieve a Lasting PEACE.”

“It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th, so let’s, GET IT DONE!” he wrote.

In a follow up Truth Social post, the president said he is inviting Netanyahu and Aoun to the White House “for the first meaningful talks between Israel and Lebanon since 1983” but didn’t say when.

“Both sides want to see PEACE, and I believe that will happen, quickly!” he wrote.
