"The Meeting went very well! The United States is going to work with Lebanon in order to help it protect itself from Hezbollah. The Ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will be extended by THREE WEEKS."
"Trump said he looks forward to hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House 'in the near future.'"
"Lebanese officials say a trilateral meeting is unlikely as long as Israel is occupying 6% of Lebanon's territory and continuing to conduct strikes there despite the ceasefire."
Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, with the U.S. advocating for an extension. Ongoing peace negotiations with Iran are separate from the ceasefire. Iran claims Israeli attacks violate the truce, while the U.S. and Israel assert their operations against Hezbollah are justified. A meeting between Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors with U.S. officials aimed to extend the ceasefire. Trump expressed optimism about future meetings with leaders from both nations, despite Lebanese concerns over Israeli occupation of territory.
