Trump announces Israel-Lebanon ceasefire claiming he solved a 10th war: ‘does it count if he helped start it?’

President Donald Trump just announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, claiming it as the 10th war he has solved. The deal follows a meeting between the two nations’ ambassadors in Washington in their first high-level talks since 1993. But the timing and Trump’s involvement have raised eyebrows, especially since he’s been accused of enabling the conflict in the first place.

According to Raw Story, on Truth Social, Trump posted that he had “excellent conversations” with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, framing the ceasefire as his personal achievement. He added, “These two Leaders have agreed that in order to achieve PEACE between their Countries, they will formally begin a 10 Day CEASEFIRE at 5 P.M. EST. On Tuesday, the two Countries met for the first time in 34 years here in Washington, D.C., with our Great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.”
