Trump: 'I'll tell Netanyahu he cannot bomb Lebanon'

President Donald Trump has declared that Israel is prohibited from striking Lebanon, stating he will tell Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "he cannot do it." The remarks, made in an interview with ABC News, reiterate his public demand for a halt to Israeli military action against Lebanon. This public directive reportedly stunned senior Israeli officials and appears to contradict the terms of the existing U.S.-sponsored ceasefire agreement. The Trump administration has since issued clarifications on the President's ceasefire stance, but the direct prohibition remains a point of tension.
