"The United States is going to work with Lebanon in order to help it protect itself from Hezbollah. I see a great chance for a peace deal between Israel and Lebanon this year."
"While Lebanon is not an active party to the conflict, the government in Beirut has been urging de-escalation after fighting between Israel and Hezbollah flared again since the outbreak of the Iran war."
"Despite the 10-day ceasefire, the strikes have continued in both directions, including on Wednesday when a Lebanese journalist was killed in an Israeli attack."
Trump stated that Israel and Lebanon would extend their ceasefire by three weeks, with the U.S. assisting Lebanon in self-protection against Hezbollah. The ceasefire, initially lasting 10 days, was set to expire soon. Following a meeting with envoys from both countries, Trump expressed optimism for a peace deal this year. Despite the ceasefire, hostilities continued, including Israeli strikes in Lebanon and missile interceptions targeting northern Israel. Lebanon has been advocating for de-escalation amid ongoing tensions with Hezbollah.
