Donald Trump has announced that the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire has been extended by three weeks.

Donald Trump has announced a three-week extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, pointing to renewed diplomatic engagement aimed at stabilizing the region.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the decision followed a high-level meeting in the Oval Office involving officials from both countries. He described the discussions as highly productive, noting that they included JD Vance and Marco Rubio.

According to Trump, the United States will deepen its cooperation with Lebanon to strengthen its internal security framework, particularly in relation to Hezbollah. He framed the talks as part of a broader effort to support Lebanon’s sovereignty and reduce the influence of armed non-state actors.

Calling the meeting “historic,” Trump said he is preparing to host Benjamin Netanyahu and Joseph Aoun at the White House in the coming weeks. The anticipated visits are expected to focus on negotiating a more durable peace arrangement between the two neighboring countries.

Speaking again to reporters in the Oval Office, alongside senior U.S. officials and diplomatic representatives from both nations, Trump emphasized the complexity of the situation, particularly Lebanon’s need to manage internal dynamics involving Hezbollah. He indicated that Washington’s approach would combine diplomatic engagement with security cooperation.

Trump also suggested that progress on the Israel–Lebanon track could align with broader U.S. strategic efforts in the region, including ongoing initiatives related to Iran. He expressed optimism that simultaneous diplomatic advances could contribute to wider regional stability.
