The announcement, made on Trump’s Truth Social account on Wednesday, came a day after Israeli and Lebanese envoys held their first direct diplomatic talks in more than three decades in Washington, DC with Lebanon seeking an to end Israel’s devastating attacks on the country.
“Trying to get a little breathing room between Israel and Lebanon,” Trump wrote. “It has been a long time since the two leaders have spoken, like 34 years. It will happen tomorrow. Nice!”
The US president did not specify which leaders would be involved in the talks.
There was no immediate comment from Israel or Lebanon, Al Jazeera reported.
Hezbollah has conducted attacks against Israel in retaliation for Israeli assassination of former Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on the first day of the war, on February 28, as well as Israel’s near-daily violations of a ceasefire it agreed to in Lebanon in November 2024.
Since then, Israeli forces have killed more than 2,000 people in Lebanon and displaced more than 1.2 million others. The Israeli military has also launched a ground invasion in southern Lebanon, seeking to seize more territory and create what it calls a “buffer zone”.
