'Calm down sometimes': Trump speaks to Israel, claims credit for Lebanon ceasefire
President Donald Trump urged Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Hezbollah, after deadly strikes in Lebanon killed 47 people. The ceasefire, negotiated by the US and Qatar with Iranian involvement, took effect around 4 pm Lebanon time following an exchange of fire. Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy, traveled to Switzerland for talks with Iran on a potential nuclear deal, while Vice President JD Vance canceled plans to attend the talks. The ceasefire followed criticism from some Republican allies in Congress and warnings from Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
