Donald Trump has claimed the leaders of Lebanon and Israel will speak on Thursday, as they look to bring an end to more than six weeks of war between Israel and militant group Hezbollah.
The US president said he is “trying to get a little breathing room” between the two countries, claiming that “it has been a long time since the two leaders have spoken, like 34 years”. He did not clarify which leaders would speak, and prime ministerial offices in Lebanon and Israel have not responded.
