WASHINGTON-(MaraviPost)-Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has welcomed the ceasefire reached in Lebanon, saying it was achieved thanks to efforts led by US President Donald Trump.
The announcement has sparked debate, with some questioning the scope of the ceasefire, particularly regarding Lebanon’s inclusion.
Sharif’s statement claimed the ceasefire applies “everywhere, including Lebanon,” but Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has contradicted this, saying the truce doesn’t cover Lebanon.
The US and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire, with talks set to resume in Islamabad, Pakistan, aimed at reaching a comprehensive agreement.
The ceasefire’s success hinges on Israel halting attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, with the US and Iran offering conflicting accounts of the agreement’s terms.
Pakistan’s role in brokering the ceasefire has been hailed as a diplomatic triumph, with Sharif and Iran’s leadership acknowledging Islamabad’s efforts.
However, some analysts view Pakistan’s involvement as a messenger rather than a mediator, highlighting the complexities of regional diplomacy.
The situation remains volatile, with reports of ceasefire violations and ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.
