“I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back. Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

“no Troops going to Beirut, any Troops that are on their way have already been turned back”
Troops were turned back and Beirut strike was postponed — confirmed. However, Netanyahu publicly stated Israel's position "remains unchanged" and would strike Beirut if Hezbollah continued attacks. The ceasefire was fragile, not absolute.

“through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah”
Contact with Hezbollah through intermediaries is confirmed and historically unprecedented. However, calling it a "call" is imprecise — it was indirect communication through representatives, not a direct conversation.

“they agreed that all shooting will stop — Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel”
The ceasefire announcement did not hold — Hezbollah continued firing on northern Israel and IDF strikes continued in Lebanon immediately after Trump's post. "All shooting will stop" was an aspirational claim, not an accurate description of events on the ground.
