Israel and Lebanon have agreed to extend their ceasefire for an additional three weeks, according to an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump on April 24, 2026. The decision followed renewed discussions between representatives of both countries in Washington. Trump stated on Truth Social that the meeting was conducted successfully and confirmed that the United States would work with Lebanon to help it defend itself from Hezbollah.

The ceasefire, initially set to expire on Sunday, was introduced after a meeting in Washington last week aimed at ending more than seven weeks of fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed group Hezbollah. Trump also said that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would visit the White House in the coming weeks.

According to Trump, the United States intends to cooperate with Lebanon to restore stability in the country and address the challenges posed by Hezbollah.
