Trump Extends Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire for Three Weeks

Trump announced a three-week extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon as Washington pursues longer pause and broader Iran talks. The White House hosted Israeli and Lebanese officials, with Trump signaling a possible future meeting with Netanyahu and Lebanon’s Aoun. Lebanese officials cautioned that ongoing Israeli strikes and occupation hinder trilateral talks, while Hezbollah rockets and IDF retaliatory strikes occurred during the ceasefire window. The United States aims to reduce violence and support Lebanon’s security while advancing separate talks with Iran.
