Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has confirmed to the newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat that the United States is actively working to extend the ceasefire in Lebanon. This follows a phone call between President Donald Trump and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on April 17, 2026, where Trump reassured Aoun that the US would be open to extending the current Israel-Lebanon ceasefire. The US diplomatic effort comes amid ongoing tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border and scheduled negotiations between the two countries in Washington. Berri's confirmation indicates continued American engagement in regional de-escalation efforts despite recent hostilities.
