“Lebanon Is Included”: Pakistani Ambassador Says Ceasefire Applies Despite Ongoing Israeli Strikes
April 10, 2026
Despite ongoing strikes, Pakistani Ambassador to the U.S., Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, has confirmed that the U.S.-Iran ceasefire specifically covers Lebanon. While the ground reality remains volatile, the diplomatic word from the mediators is clear: Beirut is part of the deal.
So why are the bombs still falling?
While diplomats speak of ceasefires,
the reality on the ground tells a different story.
Because a ceasefire isn’t just words
it’s whether people actually stop dying.

English Script:
Reporter: Israel has continued to attack Lebanon, saying it is not part of this ceasefire despite your Prime Minister, Sharif saying it is. Can you clarify what the parties of this war have agreed to there? And are you concerned Israel could derail the broader cease fire agreement at this point?
Pakistan Ambassador: Well, as the description and understanding has come from the highest level in Pakistan, so it could not have been a more authentic in terms of the offer made by the Prime Minister and accepted by the two conflicting parties of affording a ceasefire for two weeks. So it could not have been more authentic. And the understandings associated with it, could not have been more true. But, of course, this is a situation of a ceasefire that could be disrupted. And there have been instances in the past where ceasefires have been disrupted. So we perhaps would all want for the best to happen.
Reporter: So you’re confirming that as far as the Prime minister is concerned, that Lebanon is included in this ceasefire, despite what we have heard from the Prime Minister’s office in Israel today?
Pakistan Ambassador: Well, as Pakistan is a faithful facilitator, I think the understandings coming from the highest level in Pakistan need to be accorded primacy and certainly authenticity.
Reporter: So the answer is yes. Okay. Thank you sir.
