| TOP OF THE AGENDA | | Israel-Lebanon 10-day ceasefire begins | | | | | Iran has been demanding an end to Israeli operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon in its talks with the US. Credit: Reuters | | When Trump said there would be a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, even Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's own security cabinet was surprised, writes Lucy Williamson. For many, she notes, the ceasefire is "another example of Netanyahu bowing to Trump's demands to halt fighting, even when the terms or the timing are not what Israel wants". Across Israel, there's scepticism about why Netanyahu has signed up to a truce, Lucy reports. He had been keen to emphasise that the temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran did not mean an end to Israel's operations against Hezbollah, an Iran-backed group over which the Lebanese government has limited influence. | | | | | | | | - Live updates: In Lebanon, our reporters say people are desperate for some respite, while in north Israel locals reportedly feel betrayed. Get the latest.
