Multiple outlets report that U.S. President Donald Trump discusses a recent phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid efforts to keep an Israel–Lebanon truce in place. Trump states that Netanyahu “turned his troops around” rather than carrying out what Trump describes as a “major raid” on Lebanon. The reports say Trump characterizes the call as including expletives, and he links the outcome of the call to changes in Israeli actions.
According to the accounts, the conversation’s reported impact coincides with an agreement between the parties to halt hostilities, including an understanding for both sides to “stop shooting” at one another. The coverage portrays Trump as pushing to broker or preserve a peace arrangement while emphasizing that the immediate operational decisions—specifically, a shift away from a planned raid—are tied to the discussions between Trump and Netanyahu.
The reports focus on the sequence of events following the phone call and the subsequent move toward reduced fighting, without detailing additional independent verification or broader terms beyond the reported ceasefire understanding.
