Trump Claims Israel Will Not Enter Beirut and Fighting Will End After Call with Netanyahu

US President-elect Donald Trump announced that Israel does not plan to enter Beirut and that fighting will cease, following a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump stated that American forces are withdrawing from their course toward Beirut and claimed that Israel and Hezbollah will halt their fire. The announcement comes amid ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group, which operates from southern Lebanon and has been engaged in cross-border fighting with Israeli forces. Trump's statements suggest potential diplomatic intervention in the Middle East conflict as he prepares to take office, though the specific details of any ceasefire arrangements or the timeline for implementation remain unclear.
