Trump brokers 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire amid Iran war

President Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire beginning April 16, described as an Israeli gesture of goodwill to launch formal peace negotiations. Lebanon committed to taking meaningful steps to prevent Hezbollah from attacking Israeli targets, while Israel retained its six-mile buffer zone in southern Lebanon. The ceasefire was later extended three weeks on April 23 after White House talks. The agreement came as Israel had been conducting strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon simultaneous with the broader Iran conflict.
