'Been my honour to stop 9 wars across world': Donald Trump says Israel-Lebanon agreed to 10-day ​ceasefire

US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that Israeli and Lebanese leaders ⁠had agreed to begin ‌a 10-day ​ceasefire beginning Thursday evening.

The Republican ⁠president said in the post on Truth Social that he held "excellent conversations" with ⁠Israeli ‌Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph ‌Aoun.

"These two Leaders have agreed ⁠that in order to achieve PEACE between their ‌Countries, they will ‌formally begin a 10 ‌Day CEASEFIRE at 5 ‌P.M. EST," he wrote, adding that he has directed US Vice President ⁠JD ⁠Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine to work with the two ​countries to achieve lasting peace.

Trump said he will be inviting ⁠Israeli ‌Prime Minister Benjamin ‌Netanyahu ⁠and Lebanese President Joseph ‌Aoun ‌to the ‌White ‌House for "meaningful talks" between ⁠the ⁠two countries.

And in true Trumpian fashion, the US President said this has been an honour for him to solve 9 wars, this being the 10th. So, now who's counting?!
