U.S. President Donald Trump announced late Monday that both Israel and the Shiite militia Hezbollah have agreed to halt attacks against each other. The announcement came after Trump stated he had spoken with both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and representatives from Hezbollah.

"We'll see how long that lasts โ€“ hopefully forever!" Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, following the reported conversations. The details of these discussions and the specific terms of the agreement were not immediately disclosed.

This reported ceasefire marks a potential de-escalation in a region that has seen significant tensions. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has been a source of regional instability, and any cessation of hostilities would be a significant development.

Trump's statement suggests a diplomatic effort to bring an end to the fighting. The international community will be closely watching to see if this reported agreement holds and leads to a lasting peace.

We'll see how long that lasts โ€“ hopefully forever!
