Trump says Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extended by three weeks

Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their ceasefire by three weeks after a meeting at the White House with top U.S. officials. The extension signals a short-term de-escalation in a sensitive geopolitical conflict, which is mildly supportive for regional risk sentiment. The direct market impact is likely limited, though it may be relevant for defense, energy, and broader Middle East risk pricing.
