Israel Resumes Bombing of Top Iran's Ally As Trump Announces Ceasefire, Gives Reason

  • US President Donald Trump's declaration of a ceasefire in the war against Iran in the Middle East could not stop Israel from bombing
  • This is as Israel launched a fresh military attack on Lebanon, just hours after the US president announced the development
  • Israel also disclosed that Lebanon was not part of the deal that the US president was referring to in his announcement

Israel, through the office of its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has reacted to the ceasefire announced by President Donald Trump of the United States on the conflict started by the Jews, the US, against Iran in the Middle East.

President Trump had maintained that the ceasefire for two weeks is subject to "Iran immediately opening the straits and stopping all attacks on the US, Israel and countries in the region”.

According to the Jewish nation, Israel is supporting "the US effort to ensure that Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat”, even though Iran, unlike Israel, does not currently possess nuclear weapons.

In the wake of the development, Israel launched a fresh attack on southern Lebanon, an action justified by its earlier claim in the ceasefire.

Meanwhile, Israel's latest action against Lebanon has started generating reactions from humanity. Below are some of the comments around the world:

Bhatzay Daan called on world leaders to make Israel accountable for war crimes:

"Now the world should go against Israel and stop them from doing another genocide. After the USA's defeat, it's the right time to make Israel accountable for human killings and destroying world peace; they need to be stopped today, it's Lebanon tomorrow, it can be another country."

Ivan M. Mutabazi said Iran has the right to have a nuclear weapon:

"We need to deal with this as well. Choke off Israel's oil at the Homuz strait. And most importantly, Iran needs a nuclear weapon. Otherwise, America and Israel will return very soon to assassinate leaders like you and others or create war again. We must remain steadfast."

Mustak Sandhi said President Trump would not be happy with Israel:

"Last time, Trump was furious with Israel. He was so angry that Israel continued to attack targets even immediately after the ceasefire on the 12-day war, he publicly declared, "I'm not happy with Israel" Trump will be angry with them again after they bombed Lebanon despite the ceasefire."

Latif Yusuf said Gulf countries would pay for the war:

"America has indicated that Donald Trump will now put the burden of this war on the Gulf countries. The war money will be recovered from the Gulf countries."

Powder Keg Daily decried the situation:

"Honestly, this whole situation is getting more chaotic by the day. feels like nobody's actually trying to de-escalate anything, just playing chess with people's lives. Hope the civilians can get out safely, but idk how realistic that is right now."
