- Trump stated that Israeli troops would not enter Beirut and those en route would be turned back.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he had productive discussions with the Israeli prime minister, leading to an agreement to cease hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Trump stated that Israeli forces would not advance into Beirut and that any troops already on their way would be recalled.
According to Trump, a representative of Hezbollah also agreed to a complete cessation of all shooting. This agreement entails Israel refraining from attacking Hezbollah, and Hezbollah refraining from attacking Israel. The details suggest a de-escalation of the ongoing conflict in the region.
Israeli troops will not go to Beirut, and those on the way will be turned back.
This development comes shortly after Iran's state media reported that Tehran would halt all indirect communications with the United States concerning Israel's military operations in Lebanon. This move by Iran could indicate a shift in diplomatic channels or a response to the perceived escalation prior to Trump's intervention.
They agreed to stop all shooting, meaning Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.
