Several countries have hailed the 10-day ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel that came into a few hours ago.
Statements have poured in from across the Arab world, including supportive remarks by Egypt, Syria, Jordan and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry was quick to welcome the agreement, praising the “tremendous efforts” made by Pakistan in mediating talks.
The European Commission’s President Ursula von der Leyen said the ceasefire came as a “relief”, calling for “not just a temporary pause, but a path to permanent peace”.
Countries across Europe have echoed similar sentiments.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump expressed in a post on his platform Truth Social that it may “have been a historic day for Lebanon. Good things are happening!!!”
