via Egypt Today1 min read
President Donald Trump announced on Friday, April 17, 2026, that the United States has banned Israel from bombing Lebanon. This declaration follows a 10-day ceasefire that Trump had previously announced, which temporarily halted Israeli strikes on Lebanon. Israel has been conducting strikes in Lebanon, including Beirut, since the US-Iran war began on February 28, a conflict currently under a two-week ceasefire. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, these Israeli strikes have resulted in approximately 2,200 deaths and over 7,000 injuries. Trump conveyed this decision on Truth Social, stating, "Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!"
