Israel Backs US-Iran Temporary Truce but Excludes Lebanon

Israel has welcomed the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran. The Israeli prime minister’s office said it supports the pause, provided Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz and stops attacks against Israel, the US, and other regional partners. The statement reiterated Israel’s commitment to preventing Iran from posing a nuclear, missile, or security threat. It also made clear that the agreement does not extend to Lebanon, contradicting earlier remarks suggesting a broader truce. Tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border rose after Hezbollah launched rocket attacks. Israel responded with military operations and airstrikes. Authorities report more than 1,500 casualties in the recent violence.
