President Donald Trump told Channel 14 correspondent Libby Alon that 'Hezbollah must definitely disarm,' according to a breaking exclusive report from the Israeli outlet. The quote, published at 20:20 Jerusalem time, is the only detail released so far from the conversation. Trump's firm language aligns with past US demands for the disarmament of non-state armed groups in Lebanon, but comes at a moment of heightened Israeli security operations across the border. As The Zioneer reported in its Sunday bulletin, Trump had earlier said Israel's strike in Beirut was 'not coordinated' with Washington and planned to urge Prime Minister Netanyahu toward restraint. The White House has not issued an official readout of the call. Full context and any additional statements from the president remain unconfirmed at this stage.
