Trump orders Israel to halt airstrikes in Lebanon to end escalating violence.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Israel is prohibited from bombing Lebanon, marking a shift in U.S. policy. Following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Trump stated he would host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in Washington. The announcement came as Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz open and Netanyahu confirmed Israel destroyed much of Hezbollah's arsenal.
