Israel and Lebanon have agreed to renew their shaky ceasefire, aiming for comprehensive peace talks later this month. The U.S.

The Israeli and Lebanese governments have agreed to implement a ceasefire, after weeks of deadly fighting between Israel and Hezbollah had imperiled broader negotiations between the U.S. and Iran to end their conflict.

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem says the group won’t stop fighting while Israel occupies Lebanese territory.

The countries reject "any attempt, by any state or non-state actor, to hold Lebanon's future hostage", the US says.

Iran says there's been no progress in talks with the U.S. after tit-for-tat strikes, as Hezbollah rejects new Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.

The ongoing fighting in Lebanon, where Israeli forces have seized large swaths of the south, threatens efforts to end the Iran war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.N. peacekeeping mission for Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, said one peacekeeper was killed and others were wounded when they came under mortar fire in southeastern Lebanon.

The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has rejected the terms of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon. The Iran-backed group's leader Naim Qassem said on Thursday that negotiations had been "futile" and "humiliating" for Lebanon, and rejected categorically by "broad segments of the Lebanese people".

The deal is contingent on Hezbollah halting attacks on Israeli forces and withdrawing fighters from southern Lebanon, the U.S. State Department said.

President Donald Trump acknowledged criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “crazy” in a phone call that involved expletives.
