45-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extension agreed after US talk

Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 45-day extension of their ceasefire, facilitated by US talks, aiming to further negotiations and de-escalate tensions related to Iran-backed Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Recent Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have threatened the truce, complicating US efforts to negotiate with Tehran. The extension is intended to pave the way for a permanent peace accord between the two countries.
