Netanyahu Ruined Trump's Ceasefire?

TL;DR

Israel was excluded from ceasefire negotiations because the U.S. feared Netanyahu would sabotage talks, as he did previously with reckless military strikes.

Key Points

• 1.The U.S. deliberately excluded Netanyahu from ceasefire talks. American negotiators feared he would repeat past behavior — like during Operations Eternal Darkness and Hell — and torpedo the deal before it could be finalized.
• 2.Netanyahu has a pattern of undermining diplomacy with unilateral military action. Specifically, bombing apartment buildings in Beirut, Lebanon was cited as the kind of destabilizing act the U.S. was trying to prevent by keeping him out of the loop.
• 3.The result is a ceasefire in name only — it does not exist in practical terms. Because reining in Israel was never seriously on the table, both U.S. economic interests and the safety of American troops remain at risk with no real halt to hostilities.
