Trump announces Israel-Lebanon ceasefire amid regional tensions
Published 6 days, 2 hours ago
Description
A 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel has come into effect following an announcement by Donald Trump, though Israeli forces will remain in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed. The truce has sparked hopes for broader Middle East peace, with Trump expressing optimism about potential negotiations with Iran while warning of resumed combat operations if a deal isn't reached. Tensions have also emerged between Trump and Pope Francis, who criticised world leaders manipulating religion for political gain during an address in Cameroon.
