Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has expressed support for the United States’ decision to suspend strikes on Iran, but said the two-week truce will not extend to Israel’s ongoing military operations in Lebanon.

In a statement on X on Wednesday, Netanyahu said Israel backed US President Donald Trump’s efforts to ensure “Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat to America, Israel, Iran’s Arab neighbors and the world”.

But the two-week ceasefire “does not include Lebanon”, he said.

Netanyahu’s statement comes after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that the US, Iran and their allies “have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and elsewhere,” according to Al Jazeera.

Sharif said the move was “effective immediately”.

Lebanon was drawn into the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran on March 2 after Tehran-aligned Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel.
