Trump says Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extended by three weeks
The extension follows direct White House talks as both sides seek a permanent end to the war and a pullback of Israeli forces, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced that the 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has been extended by three weeks, following direct talks in Washington between the two nations' diplomats.
- Lebanese Ambassador to the United States Nada Hamadeh Moawad and her Israeli counterpart Yechiel Leiter held their second session of direct talks in Washington, aiming to extend the truce set to expire Monday.
- Despite the extension, Hezbollah rejected the negotiations and reported ceasefire violations; both sides exchanged fire, including a rocket salvo targeting Shtula settlement.
- With over 1 million people displaced and around 2,300 killed in the conflict, Lebanon is seeking an end to Israeli home demolitions, troop withdrawals, and reconstruction aid.
- UN Security Council members are reviewing options for the future peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, though Hezbollah's continued opposition to direct talks complicates the path toward permanent peace.
