Donald Trump, during a press conference following negotiations in Washington, announced a partial ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, humorously stating that a ceasefire means 'shooting in a more moderate manner.' This remark drew widespread ridicule on social media, as the traditional definition of a ceasefire involves a complete halt to hostilities. Trump claimed that for the first time, the U.S. engaged with Hezbollah during the talks, which resulted in a joint statement from the U.S., Israel, and Lebanon. This agreement is contingent on Hezbollah ceasing attacks and withdrawing its fighters south of the Litani River. However, despite the announcement, violence persisted, with Israel conducting airstrikes and Hezbollah retaliating against Israeli forces. The discussions come amid increasing international scrutiny of Netanyahu's actions concerning the humanitarian situation in Gaza and Lebanon's sovereignty, particularly after Trump reportedly criticized Netanyahu in a heated phone call.
