Israel has thrown its support behind a temporary ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, signaling cautious optimism amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

According to reports from Reuters and The Guardian, the two-week ceasefire—brokered by the U.S.—is aimed at halting imminent military escalation and creating room for diplomatic talks.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel supports the move, particularly the suspension of U.S. strikes on Iran, provided Tehran meets key conditions, including reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz and halting hostile actions in the region.

Coverage by NDTV and RTHK also highlights Israel’s stance that the ceasefire is limited in scope, stressing that ongoing military operations linked to regional threats—especially in Lebanon—are not part of the agreement.

Meanwhile, analysts note that while the ceasefire has been welcomed globally, it remains fragile and conditional. Reports indicate that negotiations are expected to continue in the coming days, with both Washington and Tehran under pressure to turn the temporary pause into a more lasting peace framework.

The development marks a critical moment in the conflict, with world powers watching closely to see whether the truce will hold—or collapse under longstanding geopolitical tensions.
