The leaders of Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire after officials from the two countries met in Washington, President Donald Trump said Thursday.
The temporary truce will start at 5 p.m. ET, Trump said in a Truth Social post.
In a follow-up, Trump added that he will be inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joseph Aoun of Lebanon to the White House “for the first meaningful talks between Israel and Lebanon since 1983, a very long time ago.”
“Both sides want to see PEACE, and I believe that will happen, quickly!” Trump wrote.
The developments add to growing hopes of a deal to end the Middle East war, which the U.S. and Israel launched against Iran on Feb. 28.
