Trump says Israel, Lebanon agreed to 10-day truce
17-Apr-2026.
US President Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, a rare diplomatic breakthrough following weeks of border conflict. This followed the first Israel-Lebanon talks in 34 years, held in Washington with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Trump plans to invite Israeli PM Netanyahu and Lebanese President Aoun to the White House for peace talks. Hezbollah's commitment depends on Israel ending hostilities. The ceasefire offers a testing period to gauge peace prospects after recent escalations involving Iran-backed Hezbollah.
