Israel and Lebanon Agree to Extend Ceasefire by Three Weeks Amid Ongoing Talks

In a significant development following recent peace talks at the White House, President Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to extend their ceasefire for three weeks. This decision comes as tensions in the region remain high, with Lebanon seeking leverage over Israel and calling for the repeal of laws that hinder contact between the two nations. As the U.S. facilitates discussions, Lebanon hopes to push for a full Israeli withdrawal ahead of upcoming negotiations, even as analysts warn that unresolved issues, particularly regarding Hezbollah disarmament, could lead to further instability. The situation continues to evolve with both nations set to meet again in Washington for direct talks.
