Lebanon seeks month-long ceasefire extension

Lebanon is seeking to extend its current ceasefire with Israel by at least one month. The request comes as Lebanese and Israeli envoys are scheduled to meet for a second round of talks in Washington this week. Lebanese President Michel Aoun has previously stated that talks to extend the ceasefire are in progress, with Lebanon's core demands including a full Israeli withdrawal from its territory. The outcome of the Washington talks will determine whether the fragile truce holds or hostilities resume.
