Trump says Israel, Hezbollah agree to halt fighting

U.S. President Donald Trump said on June 1 that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to stop fighting, adding that Iran talks were moving rapidly after seeming to falter over Israel's Lebanon offensive.

Trump said he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and had a "very good call" through unnamed representatives with the Hezbollah militant group.

Netanyahu agreed to call off a military raid on Beirut while Hezbollah agreed "all shooting will stop," Trump said on his Truth Social network.

But there were fresh signs of tensions between the United States and Israel over the situation in the Middle East. The two countries launched a joint offensive against Iran on February 28.
