Statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
There is a historic opportunity to make peace with Lebanon.
President Trump intends to invite me along with the Lebanese President to push towards a peace agreement.
Reaching peace with Lebanon is possible because we have changed the balance of power.
We have received appeals from Lebanon over the past month to hold direct negotiations, which has never happened before.
I responded to Lebanon’s appeals and agreed to a temporary 10-day ceasefire to move peace talks forward.
We have two demands: disarming Hezbollah and concluding a sustainable peace agreement from a position of strength.
We rejected two of Hezbollah’s conditions: our withdrawal to the international borders, and a ceasefire based on calm for calm.
We will remain in a security zone in southern Lebanon, reinforced with forces from the sea up to the border with Syria.
The security zone extends to a depth of 10 kilometers, removes the risk of an invasion of our territory, and prevents rocket fire on our towns.
We must take care of the missiles in Hezbollah’s possession as part of the progress toward a peace agreement.

Lebanese Parliament member from Hezbollah, Ali Fayyad, to Al Jazeera:
The ceasefire must be full and comprehensive.
The continued targeting of sites in southern Lebanon will constitute a violation of the agreement.
The continuation of assassination operations will be a blatant violation of the ceasefire.
We will approach the ceasefire with caution and vigilance.
Any Israeli presence on Lebanese territory gives the people the right to respond.
The upcoming phase is thorny and full of mines and challenges.
The government is unable to meet Israel’s complex demands.
The 10-day deadline will not be sufficient, and we are facing a complex phase.
The ceasefire must lead to the achievement of Lebanese demands.
We reject bilateral negotiations with Israel.
We call on the Lebanese state to return to indirect negotiations.
We are ready to reach an understanding with the government to address outstanding points regarding weapons.
The worst scenario for the Lebanese, and the best for the Israelis, is reaching internal infighting.
The option of direct negotiation with Israel leads to an internal confrontational path.
The agreement is the result of Iranian pressure, Pakistani efforts, and Saudi cooperation.

US President Donald Trump said that Iran promised to open the Strait of Hormuz but deliberately failed to keep its promise, causing concern and disruption for many countries. He added that the US Navy will begin a blockade operation of all ships attempting to enter or exit the strait, and will begin destroying the mines planted by the Iranians in the strait.
Trump affirmed that Iran is not ready to abandon its nuclear ambitions, noting that what has been agreed upon is better than continuing military operations, but it does not compare to having nuclear energy in the hands of volatile people. He explained that most of the points have been agreed upon in the Islamabad talks, but the nuclear file has not been agreed upon.
He also confirmed that he has issued instructions to the US Navy to track and intercept every ship in international waters that pays fees to Iran, stressing that any party that pays illegal fees to Iran will not have safe passage. He described Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz as “blackmail of the world,” emphasizing that world leaders will never succumb to blackmail.
Trump said he received a briefing from Vice President JD Vance and envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner regarding the meeting held in Islamabad. He announced that the US Navy blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will begin within a short time and that other countries will have a role, adding that US forces will be in a state of full combat readiness.
Trump affirmed that any Iranian who opens fire on US forces during mine removal operations in the Strait of Hormuz “will be obliterated and sent to hell.” He said that most Iranian leaders, including the former Supreme Leader, were killed as a result of their nuclear ambition, adding that the US military will eliminate whatever remains of Iran.
