Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire starting later on Thursday, President Donald Trump said.
The truce is scheduled to begin at 5pm Eastern, Trump said.
The president announced the pause in fighting on social media, saying it followed “excellent” conversations with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Lebanon and Israel held their first direct diplomatic talks in decades on Tuesday in Washington after more than a month of war between Israel and Hizbollah group.
Trump said he has directed Vice President JD Vance others to work with Israel and Lebanon to “achieve a Lasting PEACE.”
