President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire agreement between two Middle East countries that have been at odds for decades.<\/p>\n
Israel launched renewed attacks targeting the Hezbollah terror organization in Lebanon in March. The strikes were a sticking point in the president’s attempts to resolve the conflict in Iran.<\/p>\n
The president added that the peace deal between Israel and Lebanon would be the 10th solution to wars across the world that he has brokered.<\/p>\n
Trump said Thursday that Israel and Lebanon had reached a 10-day ceasefire deal.<\/p>\n
“I just had excellent conversations with the Highly Respected President Joseph Aoun, of Lebanon, and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel,” said<\/a> Trump on Truth Social.<\/p>\n “These two Leaders have agreed that in order to achieve PEACE between their Countries, they will formally begin a 10 Day CEASEFIRE at 5 P.M. EST,” he added. “On Tuesday, the two Countries met for the first time in 34 years here in Washington, D.C., with our Great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.”<\/p>\n In a second<\/a> post, he said he would be inviting Aoun and Netanyahu to the White House for the first “meaningful” talks between Israel and Lebanon since 1983.<\/p>\n Also on Thursday, the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations said<\/a> he was optimistic about Iran reaching a peace deal with the U.S. <\/p>\n RELATED: <\/strong>Israel ramps up attacks on Middle East target despite US-Iran ceasefire<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
