US President Donald Trump has announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire, effective immediately, to facilitate negotiations for a lasting peace in the region.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that US President Donald Trump shared the development on his Truth Social platform following high-level telephone consultations with the leaders of both nations. "I just had very good conversations with the highly respected President of Lebanon, Michel Aoun, and the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. These two leaders have agreed to officially implement a 10-day ceasefire starting at 5:00 PM Eastern Time to achieve peace between their countries," the US President stated.
US President Donald Trump further noted that he has instructed Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Kane, to work closely with Israel and Lebanon to transition this temporary truce into a permanent settlement. This diplomatic initiative marks a significant escalation in American mediation efforts in the Middle East, aimed at stabilizing the volatile border regions and addressing long-standing security concerns for both Baku's regional partners and the broader international community.
The announcement comes amid heightened regional tensions and follows a series of diplomatic missions conducted by the new US administration. Historically, ceasefires in this corridor have served as critical windows for humanitarian aid delivery and the establishment of buffer zones. International observers suggest that this 10-day period will be a crucial test for the diplomatic framework proposed by the Trump administration as it seeks to redefine security architectures in the Middle East.
