President Donald Trump announced a three-week extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, which was originally set to expire on April 26. This decision came after discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in the Oval Office. Trump emphasized the United States' commitment to helping Lebanon protect itself from Hezbollah, although specifics were not provided. The ceasefire is seen as a crucial step towards negotiations for a permanent peace agreement between the two nations, which do not officially recognize each other. This extension also aims to facilitate broader discussions regarding the US and Israeli conflict with Iran, Hezbollah's primary supporter. Both Israel and Hezbollah have yet to respond to the announcement, although Hezbollah has largely respected the ceasefire terms despite previous tensions.
