Happy Friday, everyone. Let’s dive in.
Israel Kills The Deal?
It looks like the MOU Trump signed yesterday at Versailles did not even last 24 hours.
The first paragraph of the Peace MOU specifically mentions that all warfare must stop in the region and specifically mentions Lebanon three times. Trump even admonished Bibi to stop the war in Lebanon.
Israel completely ignored him.

How will Trump respond?
So this is it. Israel is betting Trump will back them again despite them violating every cease fire, blowing up every peace deal and attacking and taking land Trump specifically said not to. This is the big moment. Almost certainly Trump will have to address this tomorrow. https://t.co/HJxj6DSJnx
