Israel continues strikes on Lebanon despite Trump's calls not to attack Beirut. Negotiations for a full cessation of hostilities are ongoing in Washington.
The Israeli military continued to launch strikes on southern Lebanon despite the intervention of U.S. President Donald Trump, who had previously called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to abandon the attack on Beirut. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.

Following Trump's appeal, Lebanese authorities stated that Israel had agreed not to strike the southern suburbs of Beirut controlled by Hezbollah, while the group itself would cease attacks on Israeli territory. At the same time, hostilities in southern Lebanon have not stopped, and the Israeli Prime Minister previously stated that the military campaign would continue.
Against this backdrop, the Lebanese government has begun a new round of negotiations with Israeli representatives in Washington, where it plans to seek a full ceasefire. Meanwhile, Iran insists that a truce in Lebanon must be part of a broader agreement with the U.S. to end the war, which has been ongoing for three months following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian facilities in late February.
