Mint·3h ago·Neutral
What Happened
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced the US-Iran ceasefire covers all fronts including Lebanon, effective immediately. Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu's office contradicted this, stating the ceasefire excludes Lebanon. The disagreement matters significantly as Israeli operations in Lebanon have killed at least 1,500 people and displaced 1.2 million. Sharif brokered the deal; negotiations begin April 10 in Islamabad.
