President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he concluded a “very productive phone call” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The discussion reportedly addressed developments concerning an Israeli operation expanding into Lebanon, an action that poses a risk to ongoing peace negotiations with Iran. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, “There will be no troops going to Beirut, and any troops that are on their way have already returned.”
Furthermore, Trump disclosed that he had spoken with Hezbollah’s leadership through “high representatives.” According to his post, the leadership agreed to a cessation of all hostilities, with an understanding that Israel would refrain from attacking them, and conversely, they would not attack Israel.
Regarding the broader regional situation, Trump noted that he had not received any communication from Iran concerning the suspension of peace talks. This statement followed prior discussions involving Netanyahu. The details of the call between the two leaders and the subsequent developments in Lebanon and the region have been subjects of international attention.
