WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Israel and Lebanon had agreed to begin a 10-day ceasefire at 5 pm EST (21:00 GMT), signalling a pause in Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah that has raged in parallel to the war with Iran.
Trump’s statement, posted on Truth Social, did not specify which day the ceasefire would begin but a US official said it would start on Thursday.
Senior Hezbollah lawmaker said the group had been informed by Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon that a one-week ceasefire could begin on Thursday evening.
Asked if Hezbollah would commit to the truce, Fadlallah said everything was tied to Israel’s commitment to halt all forms of hostilities.
