AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoBeirut Ceasefire Deal, But Fighting Lingers: Lebanon’s presidency says Hezbollah accepted a US-backed “mutual cessation of attacks,” after talks involving President Joseph Aoun and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with Israel agreeing to stop strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiyeh) in exchange for Hezbollah halting attacks on Israel; negotiations are set to continue in Washington, but Israeli Strikes Continue: Israel ordered strikes on Dahiyeh citing Hezbollah “violations,” and air and artillery attacks across southern Lebanon were reported even as Trump claimed a de-escalation. Trump-Netanyahu Rift: Axios reports Trump delivered a profanity-laced rebuke to Netanyahu over Beirut plans, warning escalation could derail US-Iran diplomacy; Netanyahu later said Israel’s position was unchanged and operations in the south would continue. Iran Raises the Stakes: Iran suspended talks with the US, blaming Washington for ceasefire breaches tied to Lebanon attacks, and warned negotiations could be halted if Israeli operations persist. UN Push for Replacement Force: UN chief António Guterres proposed options to keep a UN presence in southern Lebanon after UNIFIL’s planned exit, as the Security Council met amid the crisis. France Slams Occupation: France’s foreign minister said nothing justifies Israeli troops remaining deep in Lebanon, warning of a return to past occupation mistakes.
