YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

BT’s Rania Khalek breaks down Trump’s announcement on April 16 of a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The news, which was announced just a week after Israel's “Black Wednesday” massacre in Beirut and in Southern Lebanon, has generated mixed reactions, with debates emerging over who was responsible.

Khalek argues that “Iran forced the hand of Trump” and compelled Trump to impose a ceasefire on Israel and Netanyahu which did not want it and was ready to continue its war on Lebanon, no matter what the cost was. Khalek also discusses the details of the ceasefire and the one-sided nature of the terms.
