A ceasefire lasting 10 days has commenced in Lebanon, potentially halting the conflict between Israeli forces and the Hezbollah militant group. This development might pave the way for extending peace efforts involving Iran, the United States, and Israel after a destructive period of warfare.
US President Donald Trump declared the agreement as a ceasefire, with residents in Beirut celebrating its onset by firing into the air. However, despite Israel's consent to the truce aimed at advancing peace, its forces will not withdraw from their established positions in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, diplomatic activities have intensified, with US President Donald Trump inviting leaders from Israel and Lebanon to the White House. Pakistan has emerged as a crucial mediator amidst a US-Iran ceasefire and negotiations that might lead to an extended cessation of hostilities.
