On Friday, Israel and Lebanon extended their ceasefire for an additional three weeks, as US President Donald Trump announced the extension following discussions with envoys from both nations. Trump expressed confidence in achieving a peace deal in the region. Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is set to visit Pakistan to engage in discussions regarding the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, particularly the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime route for global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies. Despite the ceasefire announcement, tensions remain high, with Hezbollah claiming to have shot down an Israeli drone. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the need to confront Hezbollah, which he views as a threat to peace. As the situation develops, the potential for a historic meeting between Israeli and Lebanese leaders remains uncertain, with the backdrop of ongoing US-Iran tensions complicating the peace process.
