Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire starting Thursday, according to U.S. President Donald Trump.
The truce, set to begin at 5 p.m. Eastern, follows direct talks between Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
The ceasefire comes amid ongoing regional tensions involving Hezbollah and Iran, with hopes it could lead to broader peace negotiations.
