United States President Donald Trump said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun are expected to travel to Washington in the coming weeks for talks at the White House. The announcement came after a second round of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon that resulted in a three week extension of their ceasefire.
Trump described the recent discussions as 'historic' and said both sides agreed to prolong the truce. He expressed optimism about improved relations, stating that the leaders appear willing to engage further despite previous plans for a phone call that never took place.
It remains uncertain whether Aoun will ultimately meet with Netanyahu, as he faces pressure from Hezbollah and domestic opposition, particularly while Israel maintains a buffer zone in southern Lebanon. Trump said his administration hopes to help stabilize Lebanon alongside its broader regional efforts, including actions related to Iran.
