Israel and Lebanon agree to 10-day ceasefire, Trump says

Trump said the truce could open the way for broader peace talks as Israel seeks to curb Hezbollah's cross-border attacks.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire beginning at 5 P.M. EST, following calls with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
  • The truce follows U.S.-convened talks in Washington on Tuesday, the first direct diplomatic engagement between the two nations in 34 years, aimed at pausing hostilities that began when Hezbollah launched missiles into Israel on March 2.
  • Military operations continue in southern Lebanon, where evacuation orders now cover roughly 15% of the country, while Hezbollah remains silent regarding the announced ceasefire.
  • President Trump directed Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to work with both nations to achieve a "Lasting PEACE" beyond the temporary 10-day pause.
  • Compliance remains uncertain as it is unclear whether Hezbollah will adhere to the truce or if Israeli forces plan to withdraw from southern Lebanon, where operations remain concentrated.
