US President Donald Trump has announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, set to begin on Thursday. This development comes after Trump held conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. The talks followed peace negotiations between Israel and Lebanon in Washington, which took place two days prior. Trump stated that the ceasefire is aimed at achieving peace between the two countries, and he has directed US officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to work towards this goal.
The conflict between Israel and Lebanon has resulted in significant casualties, with over 2,000 people killed and more than one million displaced in Israeli strikes on Lebanon. The situation escalated after Hezbollah, backed by Iran, fired rockets at Israel, drawing Lebanon into the Middle East war. Trump has claimed that this will be his 10th conflict resolution, having previously stated that he has solved nine wars worldwide.
