Israel and Lebanon agree to a three-week ceasefire extension

US President Donald Trump has announced that the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has been extended by three weeks. The extension follows White House peace talks.

The current ceasefire, which was established in 2020, is set to expire on February 22. However, Trump has stated that time is not on Iran’s side, suggesting that the country may be under pressure to make concessions.

The US and Israel have been engaged in peace talks aimed at resolving the conflict between the two countries and Lebanon. The talks are ongoing, with no clear outcome yet.

In a statement, Trump said that the extension of the ceasefire was a positive development for regional stability. He did not provide further details on the negotiations or the terms of the extension.

The news has been met with mixed reactions from analysts and experts, who have expressed concerns about the potential risks of civil war in Lebanon if disarmament talks between Hezbollah and the Lebanese government fail to progress.

Stock market futures remain little changed following Trump’s announcement.
