Donald Trump, the president of the United States, speaks in a typically harsh manner with Israel, a long-time US ally, and declares that the United States has prohibited Israel from more bombing Lebanon.
Israel may stop bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PERMITTED by the USA to do so. Enough is sufficient! Trump stated in a tweet on social media.
Trump added that any agreement reached by the US with Iran “is in no way related to Lebanon,” but that the US will “deal with” the violent Hezbollah situation in a responsible way.
The US senator added that Iran may supply the country with nuclear weapons.
No money did ever change hands in any way, shape, or form.

We agreed to a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon at the demand of my companion, President Trump, with whom we changed the Middle East and achieved incredible things. — Prime Minister of Israel ( @IsraeliPM) April 17, 2026
