Steve Bannon on his “War Room” podcast said that President Trump’s “Truth Social” statements today about the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire and the US deal with Iran signal a sea change in U.S. policy toward Israel. Trump wrote: “Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the United States of America. Enough is enough!!! Thank you! President DJT”

STEVE BANNON: America’s greatest ally just got put on report. Let me repeat that, and to “Tel Aviv” Levin and Benji Shapiro and the whole Israel first crowd, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. military had to go on social media to tell the world we’re not playing games anymore with “America’s greatest ally.” “This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon either, but the USA will separately work with Lebanon and deal with the Hezbollah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are prohibited from doing so by the United States of America. Enough is enough.” I don’t know what could be more humiliating. Because in this entire war, the instigators of additional actions that have dragged us in deeper, and deeper and deeper, has been Bibi Netanyahu and America’s greatest ally. This is finally President Trump putting a stop to it — in front of the world, ordering them, because they’ve done it behind the scenes before, and guess what? Israel didn’t pay attention. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do. Well, you ain’t gonna do it any longer. You’re gonna do it, you’re gonna do it on your own nickel, and you’re gonna do it at your own risk. This could be, if properly executed by the United States military and the United States government, could be a landmark moment. And of course, “Tel Aviv” Levin and Benji Shapiro, and all their acolytes, and Miriam Adelson and everybody, they’re all up in arms. They’re gonna be all over President Trump. He had to go out and say “Enough is enough.” Take your #2 pencil out and underline that. “Enough is enough.” Our magnificent military. Our 18, 19, 21-year-old kids — men and women, Hispanic, African American, Asian-Americans, whites — have delivered this, and it’s time to stop the games. The Middle East is a sideshow, and Israel is a sideshow to a sideshow, and it’s time to stop the carnival. Finish this and do it like the American military just did it. He gave you a tool, what Scott Bessent’s been talking about, ultimate economic warfare. You shut him down. Now, let’s make sure everybody gets to the table. Let’s get this whole thing sorted. Let’s not be writing big checks. Let’s get our money out of here. I think President Trump finally had a belly full of this. President Trump, as I say, when he says, no more games, no games. So, he just put Bibi on notice, no games. Gotta tell you, it couldn’t be more humiliating. Everybody on the “Israel First” Project, all your pom-poms, nothing could be more humiliating than what the commander-in-chief was forced to do on his social media platform, so all the world saw it at the same time he told you. Because they’ve said it behind the scenes, trying to be nice about it, trying to be accommodating, and you just won’t listen. Whether it’s bombing, a whole nonsense about how we started this whole thing, or about bombing Tehran that night, the oil facilities, or about expanding the war into the Persian Gulf and allowing the Persians to do asymmetric warfare to shift the center of gravity of battle after you attacked those gas fields against a standing order by the commander-in-chief. So now he’s got to go globally and put it out to “America’s greatest ally.” And Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz and that entire cabal in DC should be put on notice. We’re not doing this anymore. You’re not gonna jeopardize the security interests of our nation, and you’re certainly not going to put our young men and women in harm’s way–and that’s exactly what you guys allowed to happen. And Lindsey Graham should pay for that. If the good folks in South Carolina really look at the facts here, Lindsey Graham will be turfed out.
