In a long-awaited breakthrough, US President Donald Trump has announced a tentative agreement between Israel and Lebanon to a 10-day ceasefire, set to take effect at 21:00 GMT on Thursday. The fragile truce, brokered by the US, aims to bring an end to the escalating violence between the two nations, which has raised concerns about a potential wider conflict in the region. The ceasefire comes after weeks of intense fighting, including airstrikes and rocket attacks, that have left civilians on both sides caught in the crossfire. With the international community breathing a collective sigh of relief, the success of this ceasefire will be closely watched as a potential precursor to more substantial peace talks between the two nations.
