The 10-day truce between Israel and Lebanon has begun. Donald Trump introduced it on his social community Truth. “The two countries met Tuesday for the first time in 34 years in Washington with the great Secretary of State Marco Rubio,” Trump mentioned. “It has been an honor to solve 9 wars in the world, this will be the tenth,” he added. And then: “I hope Hezbollah behaves well during this important period of time.”

«I welcome the announcement of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and commend the position of the United States in facilitating it. I hope this paves the best way for negotiations for a long-term resolution to the battle and contributes to ongoing efforts for lasting and complete peace within the area.” United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres writes this on X. “I urge everyone to fully respect the ceasefire and to comply with international law at all times,” he explained.

«The ceasefire in Lebanon is excellent news that will have to be verified on the ground» say Elysée sources instead.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had agreed to a ceasefire with the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah in an attempt to reach a “historic peace settlement” with Lebanon. Last night, after Trump’s announcement on the ceasefire, Netanyahu addressed the nation talking about the possibility of reaching an agreement.

Donald Trump welcomed the ceasefire in Lebanon late yesterday, calling it potentially a historic day for the country and presenting it as a positive sign in the broader effort to stop the war with Iran. “This could have been a historic day for Lebanon,” US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Good things are happening!!!” Trump announced the ten-day truce yesterday after an American diplomatic push, indicating the agreement as a step capable of removing one of the main obstacles to efforts to end the war with Iran. “No extra killings. We should lastly have PEACE!”, the American president had beforehand written in one other message printed on Truth Social.
