Donald Trump said Israel and Hizbollah had agreed “the shooting will stop”, after Iran suspended its peace talks with the US in response to the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon.
The US president wrote on Truth Social on Monday that he had held a “productive call” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and another call with “highly placed Representatives” of Hizbollah, the Lebanese militant group.
Trump said “there will be no [Israeli] troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way have already been turned back”. Hizbollah had “agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel”, he added.
