Lebanon (LBN) Seeks Ceasefire Clarity Amid Ongoing Israeli Strikes

Lebanon's economy minister Amer Bisat stated that the country is receiving mixed signals regarding its inclusion in the recent ceasefire related to the ongoing conflict involving Hezbollah and Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clarified that the two-week ceasefire, announced by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, does not apply to Lebanon. In the past five weeks, there have been over 1.1 million people displaced in Lebanon due to Israeli strikes, which have resulted in over 1,200 fatalities. Lebanon is experiencing significant economic strain from the conflict, reversing some recovery progress made in 2025.
