The best part of this was the Israeli ambassador's comments about the French, but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
I just had excellent conversations with the Highly Respected President Joseph Aoun, of Lebanon, and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel. 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. I have directed Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Rubio, together with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Razin' Caine, to work with Israel and Lebanon to achieve a Lasting PEACE. It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World, and this will be my 10th, so let's, GET IT DONE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
And BTW Marco Rubio is turning out to be an all-star pick for SecState by Trump. And Dan Caine's callsign of "Razin'" is also in my top 2 of all time. The other guy was a Marine F-18 driver who stopped at Purdue to refuel. Maj. "Mike" Hunt. Couldn't believe they let him keep that.

And here's another nail being driven in Hezbollah's - and Iran's - coffin:
Israel and Lebanon will implement a cessation of hostilities beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday for an initial period of 10 days.
The initial period might be extended by mutual agreement if the negotiations progress and as Lebanon effectively demonstrates its ability to assert its sovereignty.
Israel preserves its right to take all necessary measures in self-defense, at any time, against planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks--a right it will retain even during the cease-fire. Besides this, it won't carry out any offensive military operations against Lebanese targets.
With the start of the cease-fire, Lebanon will take meaningful steps to prevent Hezbollah and all other rogue, non-state armed groups in Lebanon from carrying out any attacks, operations, or hostile activities against Israeli targets.
All parties recognize Lebanon's security forces as having exclusive responsibility for Lebanon's sovereignty and national defense; no other country or group has claim to be the guarantor of Lebanon's sovereignty.
