In the Levant around 17 April 2026, a ten-day ceasefire took effect between Israel and Lebanon. A fragile calm held as the US-brokered truce continued and families headed home. Trump said the US had 'prohibited' Israel from bombing Lebanon ('Enough is enough'), and Netanyahu said Israel agreed to the ceasefire at Trump's request and that the 'road to peace' with Lebanon begins.
Trump said an Iran deal is getting closer and that Iran may meet the US over the weekend. Iran welcomed the ceasefire and said the Strait of Hormuz is 'completely open' after the Lebanon deal. Egypt reaffirmed support for Lebanon's sovereignty, Jordan stressed the need to consolidate the ceasefire, and groups in Yemen and Palestine hailed it as a victory for resistance against Israel. Analysts wrote that the ceasefire leaves Netanyahu in an uncomfortable position.
