Saudi Arabia condemns Israeli attacks on Lebanon, rejects territorial incursions

On 1 June 2026, Iran suspended indirect message exchanges with the US over Israel's offensive in Lebanon. Its foreign ministry said a ceasefire in Lebanon remains a condition for a US deal and that the truce covers Lebanon. Iran warned of 'consequences' and said the ceasefire would very likely end if the attacks persist, and it sought Pakistan's help to ease tensions. Trump said talks with Iran were continuing 'at rapid pace'.

Trump said Hezbollah and Israel had agreed to 'stop all shooting' and that Netanyahu agreed not to send troops to Beirut, and he said he spoke to Hezbollah through intermediaries. The US also proposed a plan to ease Israel-Lebanon tensions, and Lebanon announced a partial ceasefire, though attacks continued. Saudi Arabia and a pan-Islamic grouping condemned Israeli attacks on Lebanon and rejected territorial incursions and violations of Lebanese sovereignty.
