President Says Complete Ceasefire Expected With Hezbollah

The president said Thursday evening that a complete ceasefire is expected, including between Hezbollah and Israel. In a post on his Truth Social network, the president wrote that the United States is committed to peace and encouraged parties in the Middle East to allow negotiations to proceed.

The same post noted that markets are responding favorably, with oil prices falling and stocks rising. The president added that a complete ceasefire is expected on all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel.

A memorandum of understanding states that the signing declares the immediate and permanent termination of fighting, including in Lebanon, and ensures the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The document also says the final deal will confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

Earlier on Thursday, the Israeli Air Force intercepted several rockets launched toward soldiers operating in southern Lebanon, with additional rockets landing nearby and no injuries reported. On Wednesday, a Hezbollah drone attack on forces left one soldier dead and seven others injured.
