President Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will take effect later Thursday after representatives from both nations met in Washington, D.C.
Trump said he had “excellent conversations” with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They agreed to commence the temporary ceasefire at 5 p.m. Thursday.
“On Tuesday, the two Countries met for the first time in 34 years here in Washington, D.C., with our Great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I have directed Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Rubio, together with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Razin’ Caine, to work with Israel and Lebanon to achieve a Lasting PEACE.”
The agreement does not appear to include Hezbollah, the terrorist group that Israel continued targeting in Lebanon even after the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran took effect last week.
“It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th, so let’s, GET IT DONE,” Trump said.
