Trump announces three-week extension of Israel-Lebanon ceasefire after White House talks
President Trump announced a three-week extension of the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire on Thursday after hosting Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors at the White House, the second round of direct talks between the two countries since 1993. The initial 10-day ceasefire, brokered by the US following a first meeting on April 14, had been set to expire. Hezbollah was not party to the talks, and Israeli troops remain positioned in southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire.

The split, in one line
Pro-Trump outlets frame the extension as a historic diplomatic triumph driven by Trump's personal engagement; skeptical outlets foreground Israel's surprise at the deal, Hezbollah's non-participation, and the unresolved core issues that make a lasting peace unlikely.
