Lebanon-Israel Ceasefire Expected Soon, Officials Say

Lebanese officials are signalling that a ceasefire with Israel is imminent, a development that could also ease broader US-Iran diplomatic talks aimed at preventing a return to full-scale war. The announcement comes as Pakistan pushes for a fresh round of US-Iran peace negotiations, and at least 2,167 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March 2.
