WASHINGTON – Following Thursday’s announcement of a 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel, President Donald Trump revealed that he may host leaders from both nations at the White House in the coming weeks.
The president confirmed he had conversations with officials from both countries as the temporary truce was declared, while also indicating his administration is pursuing a more comprehensive agreement.
“It’s very exciting. I think we’re going to have a deal where we’re going to have a meeting, first time in 44 years, and Lebanon will be meeting with Israel, and they’re probably going to do it at the White House over the next week or two,” Trump stated.
The potential diplomatic gathering would represent the first face-to-face meeting between Lebanese and Israeli leadership in more than four decades, marking a significant development in Middle Eastern diplomacy.
