00:01Lebanon announces a partial ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel in what would amount to a
00:05limited de-escalation of a conflict. Lebanon's embassy in Washington says the agreement would
00:11not end the conflict in that country. But it caused on Israel to refrain from strikes on
00:15Beirut and its suburbs controlled by Hezbollah while the Iran-aligned group would halt its
00:19attacks on Israel. U.S. President Donald Trump, who first announced the agreement, said Hezbollah
00:24through intermediaries had pledged not to attack Israel. Trump also says Israeli Prime
00:29Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to pull back any troops preparing to attack Beirut.
00:33Lebanon said it would seek to expand the ceasefire in talks with Israel in Washington on Wednesday,
00:38June 3.
