President Donald Trump called for a full ceasefire on all fronts, including between Hezbollah and Israel in Lebanon, in remarks reported Thursday evening by Barak Ravid (N12).
Trump framed the statement as part of a broader commitment to peace, saying the United States encourages all parties in the Middle East to maintain their commitment to allow negotiations to develop. He noted that oil prices are falling and stocks are rising, describing the market reaction as positive.
The statement builds on a series of recent White House remarks regarding the northern front. As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, Vice President Vance said Washington expects Hezbollah to refrain from firing and Israel not to 'run wild' in Lebanon. Trump's latest comments did not include a specific timeline or mention conditions for a ceasefire. The administration has been shuttling between Jerusalem and Beirut in recent weeks, with the next round of Israel-Lebanon talks expected soon.
