Lebanon delegation says truce extension, security track open path to 'lasting stability'

Lebanon's negotiating delegation in Washington said on Friday that the extension of the truce with Israel and the establishment of a U.S.-facilitated security track pave the way for "lasting stability".

"The Lebanese delegation welcomes today's outcome," it said, in a statement shared by the Lebanese presidency after the truce in the Israel-Hezbollah war was extended for another 45 days.

"The extension of the ceasefire and the establishment of a U.S.-facilitated security track provide critical breathing space for our citizens, reinforce state institutions, and advance a political pathway toward lasting stability."
