Trump Urges Israel to Halt Lebanon Attacks as Iran Peace Deal Nears Sunday Signing

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 14

Summary

  • Trump said Sunday that Israel must stop attacks anywhere in Lebanon, framing an immediate halt as necessary to protect a peace deal with Iran he said would be signed later that day.
  • In a social media post, he paired that demand with a warning that no other party — including Hezbollah — should launch attacks against Israel.
  • Trump cast the proposed accord as a potential opening for broader regional calm, saying the moment could mark "the beginning of a long and beautiful peace" if fighting does not resume.
