Just after 05:00 GMT on Tuesday, Trump announced that the ceasefire had taken effect.

“Please do not violate it!” he urged both sides in a post on his Truth Social platform.

I mean, he said please?

Look, I don’t want this war to continue and for more innocent people to die… But I do feel a slight tinge of joy when this big baby bitch looks like the big baby bitch he is. Art of the deal, amiright?

Edit: just learned how to properly format quotes

Edit 2: it would appear at the time of my posting this, there had been no further incidents and the ceasefire currently stands. Apologies for the outdated info.

    I’m sure Israel losing the USA’s support (military, financial, political) generally, and Trump’s uncritical support specifically, would end “The Middle East Conflict” pretty quickly. Which is basically what most Arab countries in the region have been saying for decades. There really is no dilemma in wanting your government to collapse - and maybe their support of Israel with it.

    Or maybe I misunderstood you.

      Nope, you nailed it, though I don’t think I was cognisant of it before. This experiment has failed and is dragging everyone else down with it. Time to burn it down. I just wish doing so didn’t mean many of my countrymen will suffer and die. Myself, my friends, and the other sane and decent Americans not excluded.
