Israel Endorses US-Iran Ceasefire, Excludes Lebanon

Israeli political leaders initially expressed strong opposition to the recent ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, citing concerns over national security and strategic implications. Despite this, Israel officially endorsed the two-week ceasefire but clarified that it would not apply to Lebanon.

This exclusion of Lebanon from the ceasefire drew criticism from opposition leaders within Israel. The decision highlighted Israel's nuanced position in the regional conflict, supporting a temporary halt in hostilities with Iran while continuing to address security concerns related to Lebanon separately.
