Israel and Lebanon extend ceasefire for 3 weeks after White House talks
Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their ceasefire by three weeks after talks at the White House, President Trump announced. The ceasefire involves Israel and the Hezbollah militant group based in Lebanon.
Israel and Lebanon have agreed to extend their ceasefire by three weeks following meetings at the White House, President Donald Trump announced. The ceasefire involves Israel and Hezbollah, a militant group based in Lebanon.
The extension came after talks between top U.S. officials and representatives from both sides. Trump made the announcement after the White House meetings concluded.
The ceasefire has helped prevent escalation of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. The two sides have been in conflict for months, with tensions rising across the region.
The three-week extension gives negotiators more time to work on a longer-term agreement. Both sides will need to continue following ceasefire terms during this period.
This extension prevents a return to fighting that could spread across the Middle East. The ceasefire keeps the region more stable and reduces risks to global oil supplies and shipping routes.
Watch for further negotiations during the three-week extension period and whether both sides maintain ceasefire terms.
