Trump Appeals to Hezbollah to Honor Ceasefire Agreement with Israel

US President Donald Trump has urged Hezbollah in southern Lebanon to adhere to the ceasefire regulations established with Israel. Through his Truth Social platform, Trump expressed hope that Hezbollah will behave responsibly during this critical period.

President Trump stated, “I believe Hezbollah will act appropriately and wisely at this historic moment.” He further added, “If they do so, it will be a great time for them. No more killing will take place. Ultimately, peace must prevail.”

Earlier, Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel via a post on Truth Social. During the ceasefire declaration, Trump mentioned discussions had taken place between Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Technically, the ceasefire is between Israel and Lebanon, where Hezbollah has established its base. An Israeli official informed the American media outlet CBS News that during the ceasefire, Israel will only respond militarily to “attacks by Hezbollah.” Just on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the need to disarm the Iran-backed group to achieve a lasting peace agreement.
