President Donald Trump announced on Friday, April 24, 2026, that the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will be extended for an additional three weeks. The extension comes amid ongoing regional tensions following the broader conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel.
The announcement was made during a live update on the war in Iran, where Trump stated that the “clock is ticking” for Tehran to reach a deal. His comments were reported by multiple international outlets, including Clarín, DW, Infobae, France 24, and La Prensa Digital, all of which cited the three-week extension of the Israel-Lebanon truce.
The ceasefire, which had previously been in place, now continues under the same terms, aiming to prevent further escalation along the Israel-Lebanon border. The development follows a period of heightened hostilities, including cross-border rocket fire and military strikes.
Regional observers note that the extension reflects continued diplomatic efforts to manage flashpoints in the Middle East, even as other fronts remain active. The situation remains fluid, with international monitors calling for restraint from all parties involved.
