European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has welcomed the 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, announced by US President Trump, APA reports citing BBC. 

"This is a relief, as this conflict has already claimed far too many lives," she writes on X.

She says a path to "permanent peace" is now needed, not "just a temporary peace", adding that Europe will continue to call for the "full respect of Lebanon’s sovereignty".
