In this Just the News article, Misty Severi reports that the State Department says the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire will be extended another 45 days as U.S.-hosted talks continue.
- The State Department announced Friday that the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire will be extended by 45 days.
- The original ceasefire began as a 10-day agreement before President Trump helped extend it by another three weeks.
- The latest extension is meant to allow more progress in negotiations between Israel and Lebanon.
- State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the United States hosted two days of “highly-productive” talks on May 14 and 15.
- Political negotiations are scheduled to resume on June 2 and June 3.
- A separate security track is set for May 29 at the Pentagon with military delegations from both countries.
- Pigott said the goal is lasting peace, recognition of sovereignty and territorial integrity, and real security along the Israel-Lebanon border.
- Trump previously said the United States would work with Lebanon to help protect itself from Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist group with deep influence inside Lebanon.
- The article frames the ceasefire extension within the broader regional fallout from U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier this year and Iran’s retaliation against U.S. bases and Israel.
