U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that the United States has banned Israel from further bombing in Lebanon, using an atypically harsher tone than usual with the longtime U.S. ally. This statement reinforces his earlier public demands for Israel to cease its military strikes. The declaration comes amid ongoing regional tensions and a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon brokered at Trump's request. The president's direct language marks a significant shift in public rhetoric toward Israel's military actions.
