President Trump acknowledged Israeli strikes in Beirut should not have occurred, while simultaneously asserting progress towards a Middle East peace agreement. He refrained from confirming a previously announced expectation of a signing on Sunday. The statement comes amidst heightened regional tensions and following reported Israeli attacks. While expressing disapproval of the strikes, Trump maintained optimism about the potential for a broader deal. Details of the proposed agreement remain undisclosed, and the timing of any formal signing is uncertain. France 24’s Noga Tarnopolsky is reporting on the developing situation. The President’s comments attempt to balance condemnation of specific actions with a continued push for diplomatic resolution.
