Israel and Lebanon Agree to 10‑Day Ceasefire as Trump Announces Breakthrough

  Israel and Lebanon Reach 10‑Day Ceasefire Following Trump Announcement Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10‑day ceasefire set to begin at 5 p.m. EST, according to U.S. President Donald Trump, who said the truce followed “excellent conversations” with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.  The ceasefire comes after more than six weeks of intense fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iran‑backed armed group operating in southern Lebanon.

Canada Post Proposes New Framework to End Strike and Reach Agreement


Canada Post has recently presented a comprehensive framework to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) in an effort to resolve the ongoing strike and reach a negotiated agreement. The framework includes proposals aimed at increasing flexibility in the delivery model and addressing key issues in the labor dispute.

The strike, which began over two weeks ago, has been affecting the timely delivery of mail and parcels, especially as the holiday season approaches. The union is currently reviewing the framework documents, and both parties have adjusted their demands in hopes of restarting negotiations.

Federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon has emphasized the need for both sides to make sufficient modifications to their positions before mediation can resume. Canada Post remains committed to negotiating new collective agreements that will provide certainty for both employees and customers.

The union has expressed concerns that the framework does not fully consider the labour minister's comments about the agreement needing to be "ratifiable." However, there is hope that with the support of mediators, discussions can be reignited and a final agreement can be reached.

Canada Post has stated that it will not provide further details on the framework outside of the negotiations to facilitate talks. The corporation acknowledges the impact the strike is having on Canadians and remains dedicated to resolving the dispute.
