Trump backs Israel, says Lebanon a ‘separate skirmish’ after ceasefire

Efter israelske angreb på Beirut støttede Donald Trump Israel og sagde, at Libanon ikke var inkluderet i våbenhvilen med Iran, og kaldte det en "separat træfning". Udtalelsen kom efter en våbenhvile og risikerer at underminere den skrøbelige aftale. Kimberly Halkett fra Al Jazeera rapporterede fra Det Hvide Hus om Trumps kommentarer den 8. april 2026. Trumps udtalelse adskiller Libanon fra den bredere konflikt med Iran, hvilket potentielt kan eskalere spændingerne i regionen.
