On April 16, U.S. President Trump stated, "I just had a very pleasant conversation with the esteemed President of Lebanon and Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. The two leaders have agreed to officially initiate a 10-day ceasefire at 5 PM Eastern Time in order to achieve peace between their two nations. On Tuesday, representatives from both countries attended the first meeting in 34 years alongside our great Secretary of State Rubio in Washington, D.C. I have instructed Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Cain to work together with Israel and Lebanon to achieve lasting peace. It is my great honor to resolve 9 global conflicts, and this will be the 10th, so let’s push forward and complete this task!"
