Trump fucked Netanyahu 🤮🤡

Prime Minister Netanyahu:

President Trump requested a ceasefire and I responded.

There is a real possibility to achieve a historic peace agreement with Lebanon.

We have a 10 km security zone in southern Lebanon.

President Trump is determined to continue the siege on Iran - there is an opportunity for a dual move.

President Trump on Iran:

Look at the siege. No one has ever seen anything like it.

I think the siege was stronger than the bombings. The bombings were strong, and that weakened them.

They have nothing. They have no leaders.

Reporter: Iran is about to execute four more protesters, including a woman. What do you say to Iran?

President Trump: Well, tell that to the Pope.

U.S. State Department:

The ceasefire will last about 10 days.

Israel and Lebanon declare that they are not in a state of war and commit to direct negotiations mediated by the U.S., aiming to reach a comprehensive agreement that will ensure security, stability, and peace between the countries.

Israel reserves the right to act in self-defense at any time against planned, immediate, or ongoing threats, even if there is a ceasefire.

However, Israel commits not to carry out offensive actions in Lebanon - including against civilian, military, or governmental targets - on land, in the air, or at sea.

The Lebanese government will take significant steps to prevent Hezbollah and other armed groups from acting against Israel or carrying out any attacks.
