Trump has paused 3 Mideast wars, but the grievances remain and could reignite them

The extension follows talks at the White House as Gaza health officials report more than 790 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire began.

  • Trump announced a three-week extension of the truce on Thursday after a White House meeting between Israeli and Lebanese officials, pausing major military operations between Israel and Hamas.
  • Major military operations halted after the ceasefire, yet underlying grievances dating to Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack remain unaddressed, leaving more than 2 million Palestinians confined to tent camps or ruins.
  • On Wednesday, Israeli strikes killed journalist Amal Khalil covering southern Lebanon. Health officials report more than 790 Palestinians killed since last year's ceasefire, including about 225 children.
  • Michael Ratney, former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, said ceasefires "don't fix anything—they just stop things from getting worse," noting Trump needed political cover to exit the conflict.
  • Escalating standoff tensions persist over the Strait of Hormuz between two countries, while Hamas retains control of half of Gaza despite establishment of a Palestinian technocrat committee.
