In a fast-moving chain of events on Monday, US President Donald Trump said no Israeli troops will be "going to Beirut, and any troops that are on their way, have already been turned back” after talking to both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he had “a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — that Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel”.
