The Lebanese embassy in Washington said today that Hezbollah has agreed to the U.S.

proposal calling for a mutual halt to attacks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on X that he told Trump that Israel will keep attacking terror targets in Beirut if Hezbollah doesn't stop attacking Israel.

And he added that the Israeli military will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon.

The growing conflict has been a sticking point for Iran and talks aimed at finding a lasting deal to end its war with the U.S.

Iran wants a durable ceasefire in Lebanon as part of any final agreement.

Trump also said today that talks with Iranian leaders were continuing at a, quote, rapid pace.

Trump's comments came after strikes from the U.S.

and Iran over the weekend.

Those tensions sent oil prices higher.

The international benchmark Brent crude rose more than 4 percent to almost $95 a barrel.

Meanwhile, stocks kept rising, especially companies at the heart of the AI boom like Nvidia, which jumped more than 6% after revealing its new PC chip.

The Nasdaq led the gains in the indexes and closed up 0.4%.

After 67 people died in a midair crash in Washington, D.C.

last year, government and industry officials promised to take action to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

Now there's a potential fix on the table.

It could cost $50,000 per airplane, and it's putting the aviation industry and Washington at odds.

That was WSJ reporter Andrew Tangle.

And that's what's news for this Monday afternoon.
