'We hope' no firing during Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, Trump says
Moments after announcing an extended ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, President Donald Trump said "we hope" there's three weeks of "no firing" between the two countries.
"But they do have Hezbollah to think about, and we're going to be working with Lebanon to get things straightened out in that country," he said during surprise remarks from the Oval Office while flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance.
Trump also said he expects the president of Lebanon and the prime minister of Israel to come to the White House "over the next couple of weeks" while the ceasefire is in place, though he did not provide any specifics of such potential travel.
Trump expressed his hope that the Israel-Lebanon conflict will get "worked out simultaneously with what we're doing in Iran."
