Trump Against the Strike in Beirut: "A Move That Delays a Peace Agreement"
United States President Donald Trump spoke out sharply against the strike carried out by Israel in Beirut, and claimed that the event "should not have happened," especially on such a significant day when the United States is close to a peace agreement with Iran, according to reports on Al Jazeera and Quds News Network.
According to Gaza News Now│Warlife, Trump emphasized that even though Israel has a right to self-defense, the current strike was against a "very small and insignificant" threat that did not cause casualties. The President noted in a conversation with Axios, as reported on Al-Qahera News, that the strike caused a delay of hours in signing an agreement intended to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Demand for a Total Ceasefire
Within the remarks published in Arab networks, and in particular on Al Mayadeen, Trump's demand that Israel not carry out further strikes in Lebanon was emphasized, and at the same time, that Hezbollah and other parties cease all attacks against Israel. Trump defined this as an opportunity for a "long and beautiful peace" that must not be spoiled.
Sources identified with the Axis of Resistance, such as South Lebanon, presented Trump's statements under the headline of criticism of "the enemy," while emphasizing the strategic damage that the strike in Beirut causes to regional diplomatic efforts.
