US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to extend their ceasefire by three weeks following high-level talks at the White House involving senior officials from both countries.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the meeting in the Oval Office with representatives from Israel and Lebanon “went very well” and included Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the ambassadors of both countries to the United States. He said the United States would work closely with Lebanon to help it strengthen its ability to protect itself from Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group.
