Trump's public post declaring Israel 'prohibited' from bombing Lebanon shocked Netanyahu, who learned about it from media coverage rather than direct communication. The post contradicted the State Department's published text of the actual ceasefire agreement, which reserves Israel's right to defend itself 'at any time' against attacks but otherwise bars 'offensive military operations.' The conflicting messaging exposed tension between Trump's public maximalism and the negotiated terms, with Israeli drone strikes resuming within hours, with Israel claiming Hezbollah violated the ceasefire.
