Israel and Hezbollah agree to halt attacks, 'All shooting will stop': Trump

US President Donald Trump on Monday claimed a diplomatic breakthrough in the Middle East, saying he had held a very productive conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that plans for Israeli troop movements toward Beirut had been halted.

In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump said any Israeli forces that may have been headed toward the Lebanese capital had already been turned back following his discussion with Netanyahu.

"I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back," Trump wrote.

The US president also claimed he had communicated with Hezbollah through what he described as highly placed Representatives and said the Iran-backed Lebanese



group had agreed to stop hostilities.

"Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop," Trump said.

According to Trump, both sides had agreed to refrain from further attacks.

"Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel," he wrote.

The claims could not be independently verified, and there was no confirmation from the Israeli government or Hezbollah regarding the alleged understanding described by Trump.

In a separate Truth Social post shortly afterward, Trump also indicated that diplomatic engagement with Iran remained active despite recent tensions.

"Talks are continuing, at a rapid pace, with the Islamic Republic of Iran," Trump wrote.
