Lebanon President Joseph Aoun: "Direct negotiations are crucial, and national responsibility must be united in the next stage because the eyes of the world are on Lebanon. The state's position is to stabilize the ceasefire, ensure the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon, and address the remaining border disputes that are stuck. The ceasefire is the gateway to continuing the negotiations and is the choice that receives local and international support"

Senator Lindsey Graham:
I do not trust the Lebanese army to disarm Hezbollah. The commander of the Lebanese army, Haikal - I do not trust him at all.
He needs to be replaced before there is a credible plan to disarm Hezbollah. There will be no peace agreement in Lebanon without a reliable path for that.

The Iranian regime continues its propaganda campaign, presenting a gathering of Jews in Tehran at the Yosef Abad synagogue for prayer and an official ceremony for Ali Khamenei.
According to the report, the participants emphasized that the confrontation is not against Jews and called not to use Judaism to justify violence - a message that aligns with Tehran's consistent propaganda line.

Iran's Foreign Minister: "Due to the ceasefire in Lebanon - the Strait of Hormuz is now declared completely open"

Iran managed to maintain, at least outwardly, the alliance with Hezbollah.
I don't think there is a single person who believes that the Strait of Hormuz was opened because of the ceasefire in Lebanon and not because the American blockade threatened to strangle Iran's economy.
Just as there is no one who truly thinks that the ceasefire in Lebanon is related to peace talks and not to a deal with Iran.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "At the request of my friend President Trump, with whom we changed the Middle East and achieved tremendous accomplishments, we agreed to a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon. At his request, an opportunity will be given to advance a combined political and military solution with the Lebanese government.
"People ask me: 'What did we do in the north?'
And my answer: We achieved tremendous accomplishments.
There were two threats from Lebanon - a near threat and a distant threat:
The near threat - infiltration of thousands of terrorists into our territory and anti-tank fire at our communities.
And the distant threat, which Nasrallah built over the years - the firing of 150,000 missiles and rockets intended to destroy Israeli cities.
We removed both of these threats.
Now see what we did: For the first time, we created a deep security zone along the entire northern border. Not only in Lebanon; along the entire Lebanon border up to the Hermon, through the Golan Heights to the Yarmouk. They wanted to surround us with a ring of fire, we made a security ring.
This zone completely removes the near threat of invasion and anti-tank fire. The IDF is stationed there - on the yellow line - to continue protecting against the near threat.
And regarding the distant threat - we destroyed 90% of the missile and rocket stockpiles that Nasrallah built. We eliminated Nasrallah himself. We scared them with beepers. We eliminated thousands of terrorists.
Hezbollah today is a shadow of itself compared to Nasrallahโs days of bravado. But I say honestly: we have not yet finished the task. There are things we plan to do against the remaining rocket threat and the drone threat, and I will not elaborate.
But we also have another goal, which is the dismantling of Hezbollah. Therefore, I say to you again honestly: this will not be achieved tomorrow. It requires continuous effort, patience, and perseverance, and it requires wise navigation in the political field.
At the request of my friend President Trump, with whom we changed the Middle East and achieved tremendous accomplishments, we agreed to a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon. At his request, an opportunity will be given to advance a combined political and military solution with the Lebanese government.
And I remind you - for the first time in 43 years, representatives of the State of Israel are talking directly with representatives of the State of Lebanon. The road to peace is still long, but we have begun it.
One hand holds a weapon, the other hand is extended for peace.
One way or another, we will restore security to the residents of the north, and with Godโs help, we will do and succeed."
