U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Sunday that progress is being made toward a ceasefire in Lebanon, though the situation there is 'a bit messy.' Vance added that President Trump is committed to a full regional ceasefire and that all parties, including Israel, are working together on it, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS).
In a statement Sunday afternoon, Vice President JD Vance acknowledged progress in ceasefire negotiations for Lebanon, though he described the situation on the ground as 'a bit messy.' Speaking to the press, Vance emphasized President Trump's commitment to a full regional ceasefire and said that all relevant parties — including Israel — are working together to achieve it.
The remarks come after Vance's similar comments on Saturday, when he said the U.S. team was 'actively managing' the Lebanon situation and observed improvement. That earlier statement, reported by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS), noted Secretary of State Marco Rubio's involvement and described the cycle of fire and response as a 'chicken-and-egg' problem that the U.S. aims to break.
Sunday's update does not provide a timeline or specific benchmarks for the ceasefire, and the assessment remains at the level of general progress rather than a concrete breakthrough. No formal announcement from either the White House or Israeli officials has followed at this stage.
