also, a "deal" between parties who don't agree on what the terms even *are* is not a deal and referring to it as one is inaccurate.

Cue up Ben Shapiro looking at the dictionary definitions of “cease” and “fire” and concluding we’re perfectly within the definition and anybody saying otherwise hates America

It's the same shit they pulled with gaza. Claim a cease fire, increase the number of wars Trump "ended" in his speeches and move on to the next shit show. Israel never stopped bombing Gaza. There not going to stop bombing Lebanon either. Up is down.

Although the ceasefire clearly did not include Hezbollah, it would be a good faith move for the US to arrange a similar two week pause in Lebanon as a good will gesture and to promote the upcoming negotiations with Iran.

Israel agreed to a "ceasefire" with Iran, specifically excluding Lebanon. So the premise is incorrect.

Besides, as seen in Gaza, that doesn't mean anything anyways. You cease, we fire.

Netanyahu within hours declared that the ceasefire didn't include Lebanon. I take it Leavitt confirmed that this morning. So any news coverage claiming it does is wrong.

What is even more wrong? Not including Lebanon in the ceasefire and massacring hundreds of people in the largest assault yet.

Pretty good indication that much of the legacy media don't really consider the Lebanese (or the Palestinians, or indeed the Iranians) to be fully human. The calculation must be that hundreds of these people amounts to less than a single American or Israeli life.

The media LOVES talking about cease fires as if they still exist when they have clearly been abandoned. They do this all the time with Israel's war on Gaza.

"Israel fires missiles at a Gaza hospital, 100 dead. Will this risk the ceasefire?!?"

Netanyahu opposed the cease fire. He wanted the Armageddon plan. Of course he’s undermining the tentative cease fire that Trump co-signed to stop the madness. Trump for his part is such an idiotic tool that he’s not even aware of his considerable power to tell Israel to quit f-ing the world up.
