Before departing for the NATO summit in The Hague, Trump urged both sides to "calm down." Trump said that Israel will abide by the cease-fire.

“ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!” he wrote on Truth Social.
