Trump has called for all sides to “stand down” in the wake of the Beirut attack, which he said should not have happened.
– “Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process,” he wrote on social media.
– He said that a deal was close and would “bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon”.
– “There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel.
– “Let’s not blow it!”
