President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to extend their ceasefire by three weeks following diplomatic talks held at the White House. This development comes after decades of conflict, as both countries have been officially at war since Israel's establishment in 1948. The ceasefire extension was agreed upon during a meeting between the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors, marking the first direct diplomatic talks in decades. Despite the ceasefire, tensions remain high due to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group, which has opposed the negotiations and continues to violate the ceasefire terms. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun emphasized the need for future talks to address key issues, including the withdrawal of Israeli troops and the reconstruction of Lebanon, which has suffered significant casualties and displacement due to the ongoing conflict. The latest war has resulted in approximately 2,300 deaths and displaced over 1 million people in Lebanon. The situation remains precarious as Hezbollah has stated it will not abide by any agreements made during these talks.
