Trump Umumkan Gencatan Senjata 10 Hari antara Israel dan Lebanon, Netanyahu Tegaskan Pembubaran Hizbullah

Suara Pecari – 17 April 2026 | President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon have reached a ten‑day cease‑fire agreement, taking effect at 17:00 Eastern Time on Thursday, 16 April 2026 (04:00 WIB Friday). The statement was released through a press briefing citing Reuters.

Trump said he spoke by phone with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and held two separate calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to finalize the deal. He added that Washington will host both leaders in the coming weeks for further talks.

The cease‑fire follows a six‑point memorandum drafted under U.S. mediation, outlining a roadmap toward a durable peace. The memo calls for respect of each nation’s sovereignty, security along the border and the right of Israel to self‑defence.

Netanyahu confirmed via video that Israel accepts the ten‑day pause and views it as an opportunity for a historic settlement with Lebanon. He reiterated, however, that Israel’s core demand remains the dismantling of Hezbollah.

The Israeli premier rejected Hezbollah’s demand that Israeli forces withdraw from southern Lebanon back to the internationally recognized border, insisting on maintaining a broad security zone extending to the Syrian frontier. He emphasized that any cease‑fire must not compromise Israel’s security interests.

Hezbollah responded that any truce must not grant Israel unrestricted movement inside Lebanese territory. The group warned that Israeli presence in Beirut would justify resistance from Lebanon’s population.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam welcomed the cease‑fire, describing it as the fulfillment of Lebanon’s primary objective since the conflict began. He expressed condolences for the victims and thanked regional partners for their support.

Salam also highlighted assistance from the United States, France, the European Union, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar and Jordan in facilitating the agreement. He said the truce will help alleviate humanitarian suffering in southern Lebanon.

The U.S. delegation for the negotiations includes Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine, who will work with both sides to secure a lasting settlement. Trump said the team will travel to Washington within one to two weeks.

The cease‑fire is set to begin at 21:00 local time in Israel and Lebanon on 16 April, corresponding to 02:00 WIB on 17 April. Both militaries have been instructed to halt offensive operations for the ten‑day period.

Observers note that the agreement does not resolve the underlying dispute over Hezbollah’s armed presence in southern Lebanon. Analysts warn that without a clear mechanism for disarmament, the truce may be fragile.

The United Nations has called for monitoring of the cease‑fire to ensure compliance by both parties. A UN observer team is expected to be deployed along the border during the pause.

The ten‑day window also allows humanitarian agencies to deliver aid to displaced civilians and to assess damage to infrastructure in the contested border region. International NGOs have prepared relief convoys pending security guarantees.

If the cease‑fire holds, Trump intends to use the momentum to negotiate a broader peace framework that could address the border demarcation, refugee return and the status of disputed territories. He described the achievement as the tenth conflict resolved under his administration.

For now, both sides remain vigilant, with Israeli forces maintaining a security perimeter and Lebanese authorities monitoring Hezbollah activities. The coming days will test whether the temporary pause can evolve into a sustainable peace.
