U.S. President Donald Trump says Israel will not send troops to Beirut following calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah representatives. In a post on Truth Social, Trump states that he told Netanyahu that there would be “no Troops going to Beirut,” and that any Israeli troops already en route “have already been turned back.” Trump also claims he communicated with Hezbollah through “highly placed Representatives,” adding that the group agreed “all shooting will stop,” and that both sides would not attack one another.
Several outlets report the same account from Trump: the phone call with Netanyahu is described as “very productive,” and the communication with Hezbollah is presented as separate and relayed through intermediaries. The reporting also notes that the comments are framed as steps toward a halt in fighting, amid an ongoing Israeli operation in Lebanon and renewed exchanges with Hezbollah.
While the outlets differ in wording, they consistently attribute the claims to Trump’s statements and do not independently verify the troop movements or the extent of any ceasefire beyond what Trump describes.
