On April 8, 2026, Israel publicly backed US President Donald Trump's decision to suspend military strikes against Iran for two weeks. This ceasefire is conditional upon Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ceasing attacks against the US, Israel, and regional allies. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office stated that Israel supports efforts to ensure Iran does not pose a nuclear or missile threat. However, officials clarified that this ceasefire only applies to Iran and does not extend to Lebanon, which could lead to ongoing tensions. President Trump declared the ceasefire a 'total and complete victory' for the US and indicated that upcoming negotiations would focus on broader security concerns, including Iran's nuclear capabilities. Despite the optimistic rhetoric, key issues such as Iran's enriched uranium stockpile remain contentious and unresolved, with Trump stating that these would be addressed in future agreements.
