US President Donald Trump Warns Israel to Stop Attacks on Lebanon
US President Donald Trump warned Israel to stop attacks on Lebanon after a ceasefire took effect, on Friday (4/17/2026). According to reports, Israeli forces continued to bombard southern Lebanon throughout Friday, despite the ceasefire agreement being announced the day before.
Through his Truth Social account on Saturday (4/18/2026), Trump emphasized that his administration is actively prohibiting Israel from carrying out further attacks. "Israel will no longer bomb Lebanon. They are forbidden from doing so by the US. Enough is enough!" he wrote. He also stated that this ceasefire is the result of separate negotiations and is not related to US-Iran peace talks.
Trump added that the US will continue to cooperate with Lebanon and deal with the Hezbollah group in an appropriate manner. The 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was announced on Thursday, after 45 days of conflict that killed over 2,200 people, injured 7,185 others, and caused more than 1 million people to be displaced.
