-- US President Donald Trump secured a three-week extension of the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, according to a Truth Social post on Thursday.
Trump said that the US will now collaborate directly with the Lebanese government to bolster its defences against Hezbollah.
According to the post, the meeting was attended by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the US ambassadors to both Israel and Lebanon as well as "High Ranking Representatives of Israel and Lebanon,".
While global energy markets remain sensitive to instability in the region, the extension of the truce offers a temporary reprieve as the administration seeks a more permanent resolution to hostilities.
