Trump Announces Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire, Then Defines Truce as 'Shooting in More Moderate Manner'

On June 4, Trump announced a partial ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon following negotiations in Washington, but immediately contradicted the agreement by redefining a ceasefire as 'shooting in a more moderate manner.' A joint statement by the US, Israel, and Lebanon governments said the agreement required 'complete cessation' of attacks by Hezbollah and withdrawal of its fighters south of the Litani River in southern Lebanon. Trump also stated the US had 'spoken with Hezbollah for the first time ever,' adding 'we didn't know they spoke.' Despite the truce announcement, both sides continued fighting into Thursday morning, with Israel carrying out airstrikes in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, while Hezbollah targeted Israeli soldiers in Qantara.
