US‑Brokered Truce Holds Between Israel and Hezbollah

On June 19, 2026, former President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to a truce facilitated by the United States together with Qatar and Iran. The accord mandates that Hezbollah cease all hostilities and withdraw its forces from the southern region of Lebanon.

Israel confirmed that, despite the cease‑fire, it will maintain its military presence within Lebanese territory. The agreement aims to stabilize the volatile border area and reduce the risk of renewed fighting between the two sides.
