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.

Viral image shows Israeli soldier smashing Jesus statue in Lebanon, sparking outrage

A viral image purportedly shows an Israeli soldier using a jackhammer to smash a Jesus statue in Debel, southern Lebanon, amid Israeli presence and a newly in effect ceasefire. Debel’s municipality confirmed the statue is in the village but could not confirm damage. The incident drew online outrage, including from MAGA figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz. Christians in the region have faced growing harassment under Israeli rule, and while the Israeli military did not deny the photo’s authenticity, it said that if real, it would not align with the army’s values.

Temporary truce between Israel and Lebanon aims to unlock long‑term peace talks

The United States brokered a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon that began on April 16, intended to create space for good‑faith negotiations toward a lasting peace. Israel retains the right to self‑defense and will keep a security presence in southern Lebanon, while Lebanon is expected to curb Hezbollah and other armed groups. Washington will facilitate further talks, with both Israeli and Lebanese leaders welcoming the pause, and Hezbollah signaling willingness to participate under conditions of a broader halt. The deal follows heavy fighting that has displaced more than 1 million people and caused thousands of deaths, raising concerns about continued occupation plans and long‑term stability in the region.
