Israel and Lebanon have decided to extend the ceasefire for three more weeks, US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday (local time), calling it a "significant and historic" move. The US President also said that the decision was made following a meeting between senior officials of both sides at the Oval Office of White House in Washington.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, the 79-year-old Republican leader also hinted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun may hold a meeting with each other here in Washington in the next couple of weeks. Calling them "great people", Trump said the two leaders live next to each other but have never met each other.
