Trump Says Iran Deal ‘Largely Negotiated’ as Hezbollah Drone Kills IDF Soldier in Northern Israel (May 24, 0622 UTC, 0922 Israel) (Morning Edition)
A Hezbollah explosive drone killed an IDF soldier and wounded two others in northern Israel, while President Trump announced that a US-Iran ceasefire deal is ‘largely negotiated’ and would reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The proposed 60-day truce includes a halt to Israel-Hezbollah fighting and talks on Iran’s highly enriched uranium, but Israeli officials and senior US Republicans have sharply criticized the emerging terms. Anti-government protests drew around 2,000 people across Israel, and a gunman was shot dead after firing near the White House.
