Well, that ceasefire certainly didn’t last long. As you will see below, there was extensive fighting in Lebanon on Monday. Those that believed that the “memorandum of understanding” would somehow magically bring peace to the Middle East have already been proven wrong. In many ways, it is starting to look a lot like 1938 all over again. We handed control of the Strait of Hormuz to the Iranians, we promised to shower them with billions of dollars in cash, but they won’t even get Hezbollah to stop shooting.

“We must not compromise on anything less than the dismantling of Hezbollah, we must not withdraw from any territory that our fighters have captured and cleared of terror infrastructure, we must not return to a situation where thousands of terrorists sit on the fences of northern settlements, and certainly we must not remain silent for a moment in the face of fire directed at the State of Israel,” he later wrote.
