The Israeli military has outlined its interpretation of the Lebanon ceasefire, stating that whilst troops will hold fixed positions, they will continue clearing sites identified as Hezbollah infrastructure. Israeli polls show 56 percent support keeping forces in Lebanon, though 40 percent believe the country is worse off after 12 months of conflict. Political analysts describe the ceasefire as a response to US pressure, with some northern Israeli communities expressing anger over the agreement. A senior Israeli official indicated the deal was reached at Donald Trump's request, with expectations of greater US involvement in disarming Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, a Pakistani delegation is in Tehran to relay messages from Washington in the latest effort to bring the US and Israel's war on Iran to a permanent end.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will continue to occupy Lebanese territory—despite the ceasefire announcement—but he has agreed to a pause in Israeli attacks in Lebanon.

A ceasefire in Lebanon may help ease tensions between Iran and the United States, but analysts say it is unlikely to resolve deeper disagreements over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
Barbara Slavin, a Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center in Washington, DC, says the truce could improve the atmosphere for diplomacy but is “necessary, not sufficient” for a breakthrough. Key disputes remain over uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and the future of Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Meanwhile, Abbas Aslani, a Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies in Tehran, says shifting demands from Washington and internal pressures in Iran are complicating negotiations. While some progress has been made, both sides remain far apart on critical issues.

Al Jazeera’s Justin Salhani spoke to displaced Lebanese citizens in Beirut who said they are taking a cautious approach to the ceasefire reached between Israel and Lebanon, saying they will wait to see if it holds before returning to their homes in the south.
In this episode of This is America, hosted by Anna Burns‑Francis, Al Jazeera examines how a fragile ceasefire with Iran has exposed deep strategic differences between Washington and Tel Aviv over what the endgame of this war should be. The two‑week truce announced by President Trump on 7 April – and formally accepted by Israel – is now in jeopardy after peace talks in Islamabad collapsed, throwing into sharp relief a key question: is the United States seeking a deal, while Israel is still seeking a decisive victory?
From the White House, Alan Fisher charts how the Trump administration went into the conflict assuming that overwhelming military force would coerce Tehran into a negotiation – a limited, transactional goal focused on nuclear constraints, missile limits and reopening the Strait of Hormuz to stabilise global energy markets. Yet Trump’s repeated signals that he is open to “a good deal” have had an unintended consequence: instead of convincing Iran that there is no escape but capitulation, they have encouraged Tehran to wait out the pressure, weakening the very coercive strategy the US hoped would bring Iran back to the table on American terms.
By contrast, Israel’s war aims are maximalist. Patty Culhane looks at how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has cast the campaign of air strikes and assassinations as a rare historic opportunity: not just to degrade Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes and its network of regional proxies, but to help collapse the regime itself. In a televised address on 11 April, Netanyahu pointedly avoided mentioning US–Iran talks, insisting instead that the war “is not yet over”. Mossad chief David Barnea has been even clearer, vowing that Israel’s operations will end “only once the extremist regime in Iran is replaced” and stressing that Israeli planning assumed the campaign would continue even after the strikes on Tehran.
Heidi Zhou‑Castro explores how this divergence is playing out across the region, with a particular focus on Lebanon. Pakistan and Iran insist the ceasefire must cover all fronts, including Iran‑backed Hezbollah, but Israel has explicitly excluded Lebanon from the truce terms. Trump has told US media that Netanyahu agreed to scale back operations there at Washington’s request – a commitment the Israeli leader has not publicly confirmed. As Israeli public opinion sours on the ceasefire, many voters accuse Netanyahu of failing to deliver on his promises to destroy Iran’s nuclear and ballistic capabilities, while his allies argue that US pressure has prematurely forced Israel towards a pause in fighting.
In the studio, former US ambassador to Turkiye and Egypt, Francis J. Ricciardone and former CIA counterterrorism chief Bernard Hudson join Anna Burns‑Francis to unpack whether this is a manageable tactical disagreement or a genuine strategic rift. They assess whether Trump’s priority – avoiding an open‑ended regional war while securing a nuclear pledge and open shipping lanes – can be reconciled with Israel’s determination to pursue regime change, and how far Israel can really go without continued US diplomatic and military backing.
Alex Baird rounds up the debate online and on Capitol Hill, where some in Congress warn that the United States and Israel are “fighting the same war with different endgames”, and where critics argue that if Iran’s leadership survives on almost any terms, Tehran will claim victory.
This is America asks whether the fragile truce marks the first step towards an Iran deal – or the moment when the gap between American and Israeli objectives became too wide to ignore.

Firefighters worked to extinguish a fire after a rocket attack from Hezbollah hit Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel. No casualties were reported. The strike came hours before US President Trump’s announcement of a Lebanon-Israel ceasefire.
US President Donald Trump said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun may meet at the White House after having earlier agreed to a ceasefire that includes Hezbollah.
Israel and Lebanon just held their first direct talks in over 30 years, resulting in a 10-day ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump. But after months of fighting in southern Lebanon, what will people find when they return — and can such fragile diplomacy last?

US military footage released Wednesday shows its latest strike on a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing three people the US accused of “narco-trafficking”. The attack follows a wave of deadly strikes on vessels in the region that rights groups have blasted as “extrajudicial killings”.
Powerful explosions have rocked one of only two working oil refineries in Australia.
Firefighters in the state of Victoria said flames of up to 60 metres broke out on Wednesday night and was finally brought under control on Thursday.
The energy minister says the blaze will have a major impact on petrol production.
Australia had already raised concerns about dwindling fuel supplies because of disruptions to oil exports via the Strait of Hormuz.
Separately, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Australia has secured an additional supply of 100 million litres of diesel from Brunei and South Korea, to boost the country's precarious reserves amid the Iran war.
Kevin Morrison is an Energy Finance Analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis.
He says the fire may have occurred because the plant was operating at full capacity.

The Israeli military has destroyed the Qasmiyeh Bridge in southern Lebanon, the last remaining operational bridge crossing the Litani River and connecting the northern and southern parts of the country.
Israel says it is targeting critical infrastructure to prevent Hezbollah from moving weapons and fighters, but the strike effectively cuts off all supply lines to the south, where around 100,000 people are now stranded. The bridge, which connected Tyre to Sidon and then to Beirut, has been completely obliterated, with a huge ditch now where the structure once stood.
The destruction makes it extremely difficult for humanitarian aid to reach southern Lebanon and for civilians to escape the area.
The military had previously patched up the bridge after multiple strikes, but it is now completely destroyed.
The attack is part of a "systematic destruction of critical infrastructure" in Lebanon, with violence continuing to escalate for six weeks despite hopes for a break.
Al Jazeera’s Obaida Hitto reports from the site of the destroyed bridge in Tyre, southern Lebanon.
