Trump announces three-week extension to Israel-Lebanon ceasefire
US President Donald Trump has announced a three-week extension to the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon after talks at the White House with Israeli and Lebanese envoys.
As tensions persist across the region, he said he “could make a deal right now” with Iran but is willing to wait for an “everlasting” agreement.
An Israeli strike killed three people in southern Lebanon, and senior officials in Tehran have blamed Washington for stalled negotiations, citing the US naval blockade of Iranian ports.

Netanyahu treated for cancer: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has successfully undergone treatment for early-stage prostate cancer after a small tumour was detected during a routine check-up.
