Washington, April 16 (BNP): Former US President Donald Trump has emerged as a key mediator in efforts to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East, with Israel and Lebanon agreeing to a temporary ceasefire.
The truce comes amid heightened hostilities between the two sides, which had raised serious concerns over regional stability. The ceasefire is aimed at halting immediate violence and creating space for further diplomatic engagement.
Sources indicated that backchannel negotiations and mediation efforts played a crucial role in bringing both parties to the table. The ceasefire will be closely monitored as stakeholders work towards achieving a more durable and long-term resolution.
