Trump Reveals 10-Day Ceasefire Deal as Lebanon Officials Signal Doubt
President Donald Trump says Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire, but early reactions suggest the situation may be far from settled.
According to Reuters and Axios, Trump announced the deal after direct talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. The pause in fighting is expected to begin at 5 p.m. ET and is being framed as a step toward broader peace negotiations.

But confusion quickly followed. Axios reported Lebanese officials appeared surprised by the announcement, while previous statements from Israel suggested no ceasefire had been finalized.
The agreement comes after weeks of escalating violence tied to Hezbollah and wider tensions involving Iran. Analysts say the outcome could directly affect global oil flows and U.S. markets, especially if stability returns to key shipping routes.
If the ceasefire holds, it may ease pressure on energy prices and inflation. If it collapses, markets could see renewed volatility within days.
