Trump says Israel and Hezbollah agreed to de-escalate:President Donald TrumpsaidMonday that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to de-escalate after he spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah through mediators. Writing on Truth Social, Trump said no Israeli troops would be “going to Beirut” and that Hezbollah “agreed to stop shooting at Israel.” The Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported later on Monday that the Israeli military hadprepareda major strike on Beirut’s southern Dahiyeh district but postponed the operation after the U.S. intervention.
Neither Israel nor Hezbollah has confirmed the existence of an agreement.
The Lebanese embassy in Washington laterclaimedthat Hezbollah had agreed to an arrangement, proposed by the United States, under which Israel would suspend strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs in exchange for Hezbollah halting attacks against Israel.
In a post on X on Monday night, Netanyahu threatened further escalation in Lebanon, saying, “If Hezbollah does not cease attacking our cities and citizens, Israel will attack terror targets in Beirut.”
Hezbollah has not claimed responsibility for any cross-border attacks since Trump’s announcement though it has claimed attacks against Israeli troops occupying southern Lebanon.
