A 10-day ceasefire has taken effect in Lebanon, marking a significant development in the region’s ongoing conflict. The US State Department has confirmed that the truce is paving the way for talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials on a longer-term deal.

According to the White House, US President Donald Trump has extended an invitation to the Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, and the President of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun, to meet at the White House. This development comes as the US President stated that an agreement to end the war on Iran is “very close”.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has also welcomed the truce, describing it as part of a broader effort with Washington to pause the regional conflict.

The ceasefire marks a significant shift in the region’s dynamics, and its implications are being closely watched by international observers. The US State Department has confirmed that the truce is a key step towards resolving the ongoing conflict between Israel and Lebanon.

Details of the talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials are still emerging, but the White House invitation suggests that a longer-term deal may be on the horizon.
