Trump Asked Israel on Friday to Agree to Ceasefire with Hezbollah
Trump said the ceasefire could help preserve a fragile US-Iran peace effort as hostilities in Lebanon delayed planned talks, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump urged Israel to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah, intervening personally to protect broader US-Iran diplomatic efforts amid escalating violence in Lebanon.
- The intervention followed a deadly surge in hostilities where Hezbollah killed four Israeli soldiers, prompting retaliatory strikes that killed at least 47 people and threatened to collapse the interim US-Iran agreement.
- A ceasefire took effect at 4 p.m. Friday, though Israeli forces remain deployed in southern Lebanon; an Israeli official stated, 'If Hezbollah does not attack us, then for us it is not a time of war.'
- The violence forced cancellation of planned US-Iran talks in Switzerland, yet President Trump defended the interim agreement as 'very popular' despite Republican pushback and criticism from allies.
- Washington and Tehran have 60 days to negotiate a broader settlement covering Iran's nuclear activities and sanctions relief, while the Pentagon reports needing $80bn to cover costs from the ongoing Iran war.
