The prepositional phrase is BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES.A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the object of the preposition.preposition - betweenmodifier - the twonoun - countries
"between the two countries"A prepositional phrase needs to contain  a preposition, in this case it would be "between". As well it needs to modify the sentence and it should mention the object of the sentence. So "between the two countries" is correct.

The prepositional phrase in the statement "The headlines announced a truce between the two countries", is "between the two countries".  This is because between is the preposition in this sentence, and countries is the object of the preposition, therefore at the end of the prepositional phrase.
