Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire that will begin tonight, in an attempt to de-escalate tension on the common border following a series of recent clashes between Israeli forces and the terrorist group Hezbollah.
The announcement was made by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, after holding talks with the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Lebanese President, Joseph Aoun.
“These two leaders have agreed that, in order to achieve PEACE between their countries, they will formally initiate a 10-day ceasefire at 5 P.M. EST,” Trump wrote on the Truth Social network, highlighting the understanding reached between both parties.
The US president described as “excellent” the talks held with both leaders, which took place just two days after a peace meeting held in Washington D.C. That meeting, the first between representatives of
Israel and Lebanon in more than three decades, allowed the reopening of a diplomatic channel
