  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nU.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire starting on Thursday, though there was no indication if Iran-backed Hezbollah was on board.\n\nTrump said a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon starting Thursday would include Iran-backed Hezbollah. \"Today they're going to be having a ceasefire, and that'll include Hezbollah,\" Trump told reporters at the White House.\n\nTrump said the truce followed \"excellent\" conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, taking place two days after Israel and Lebanon held peace talks in Washington.\n\n\"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,\" Trump said on his Truth Social network.\n\nTrump said he had directed U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and top U.S. military officer Dan Caine to work with the two countries \"to achieve a Lasting PEACE.\"\n\n\"It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th, so let's, GET IT DONE!\" said Trump, who launched the war on Iran alongside Israel on February 28.\n\nHezbollah then pulled Lebanon into the Middle East war, firing rockets at Israel in support of its backer Tehran.\n\nSince then, Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed more than 2,000 people and displaced more than one million, and Israeli ground forces have invaded the country's south.\n\nTrump said late Wednesday that Aoun and Netanyahu were due to speak on Thursday, but there was no confirmation that any such call had happened.",
