“We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after he signaled Saturday that a ceasefire could be signed Sunday.
“There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel,” he continued. “This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let’s not blow it!”
Earlier Sunday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) struck Beirut after Hezbollah fired three projectiles into northern Israel.
Trump wrote that Israel’s “attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran.” He called the attack that Israel responded to “small and meaningless,” adding that “nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process.”
