@RepSaraJacobs @TrackAIPAC Introduce a bill in Congress to send US peacekeepers to Southern Lebanon
English

Lebanon has been hit with one of the largest waves of Israeli airstrikes since the escalation began.
Civilians are bearing the brunt of these attacks.
Civilians are #NotATarget.

@RepRobertGarcia How about sending a US peacekeeping force to southern Lebanon?

@FranceskAlbs How about UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon?

The world finally sees the true nature of an Apartheid state that has terrorized, displaced. executed, jailed and tortured millions of Palestinians for decades. Israel won’t stop until States and people force it to stop.

@LBpresidency Ask the UN for a peacekeeping force to be placed in southern Lebanon
English

إنّ هذه الاعتداءات الهمجيّة، التي لا تعرف الحقّ ولا تحترم أيّ اتفاقات أو تعهّدات، قد أثبتت مرارًا وتكرارًا استخفافها بكافة القوانين والأعراف الدولية. وقد شهدنا، على مدى خمسة عشر شهرًا من اتفاق وقف الأعمال العدائية، حجم الانتهاكات والخروقات التي تمّ ارتكابها دون أيّ رادع.
واليوم، يُمعن الإسرائيلي مجددًا في عدوانه، مرتكبًا مجزرة جديدة تُضاف إلى سجله الأسود، في تحدٍّ صارخ لكل القيم الإنسانية، وضاربًا بعرض الحائط جميع الجهود الرامية إلى التهدئة والاستقرار.
إنّ هذا التصعيد الخطير يُحمّل الإسرائيلي كامل المسؤولية عن تداعياته، ونؤكد أنّ استمرار هذه السياسات العدوانية لن يؤدي إلا إلى مزيد من التوتر وانعدام الاستقرار، في وقتٍ أحوج ما يكون فيه الجميع إلى التهدئة واحترام الالتزامات.
وإذ ندين هذه الجريمة بأشدّ العبارات، نؤكد ضرورة تحمّل المجتمع الدولي مسؤولياته لوقف هذه الاعتداءات المتكررة، ووضع حدٍّ لهذا النهج العدواني الذي يهدّد الأمن والاستقرار في المنطقة.

Qatar Condemns Israeli Airstrikes on Wide Areas in Lebanon
Doha | April 08 2026
The State of Qatar condemns the series of heinous Israeli airstrikes that targeted wide areas in Lebanon and resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs deems the strikes a serious escalation and a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the sisterly Republic of Lebanon, international humanitarian law, and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.
The Ministry calls on the international community to assume its responsibilities by compelling the Israeli occupation authorities to halt their brutal massacres and repeated attacks on Lebanon, and to ensure their compliance with international laws and charters.
It also expresses the State of Qatar's full solidarity with the Republic of Lebanon in the measures it takes to preserve its security and stability, while reaffirming Qatar's firm position on Lebanon's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

@EmmanuelMacron Send a French peacekeeping force to southern Lebanon
English

I have just spoken with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
I expressed France’s full solidarity in the face of the indiscriminate strikes carried out by Israel in Lebanon today, which resulted in a very high number of civilian casualties. We condemn these strikes in the strongest possible terms.
They pose a direct threat to the sustainability of the ceasefire that has just been reached. Lebanon must be fully covered by it.
I reiterated the need to preserve Lebanon’s territorial integrity and France’s determination to support the efforts of the Lebanese authorities to uphold the country’s sovereignty and implement the Hezbollah disarmament plan.

Hi @Grok, is Israel spraying chemical agents over green areas in Lebanon and Syria to eradicate plant life? Be concise.

🚨 BREAKING.. Iran is now considering retaliatory strikes directly on Israel..
not through Hezbollah.. not through proxies.. direct strikes.. because the US just admitted it is "unable to control" Netanyahu..
think about what that means.. Iran signed a ceasefire with the US this morning.. Israel kept bombing Lebanon anyway.. Iran told the US to stop Israel.. and the US basically said we can't..
so Iran's logic is simple.. if you can't control him.. we will..
the country that receives $3.8 billion a year in American weapons just got called uncontrollable by the country writing the cheque.. and now the country getting bombed by those weapons says it's done waiting for permission to hit back..
this ceasefire is 12 hours old and we're closer to a regional war than we were before it started

@shanaka86 Why not send US peacekeeping troops to Lebanon?

BREAKING: The ceasefire just ate itself.
The Head of Iran’s Parliamentary National Security and Foreign Policy Committee just stated: after the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, all plans to open the Strait of Hormuz must immediately cease until there are assurances that Lebanon is included in the ceasefire. There is either a ceasefire on all fronts, or a ceasefire nowhere at all.
The entire premise of the deal was Hormuz reopening. Trump’s condition was complete, immediate, and safe opening of the strait. Iran accepted. The ceasefire was built on that single exchange: pause the bombs, open the water. Brent crashed 13 percent. The S&P surged. The market priced peace.
Now Iran is threatening to reverse the only thing the ceasefire achieved because of something the ceasefire never included.
Three contradictions in 24 hours. Pakistan announced the ceasefire covers everywhere including Lebanon. Netanyahu said it does not include Lebanon and launched the largest IDF strike since Roaring Lion began: 100 Hezbollah targets in 10 minutes. Now Iran says Hormuz stays closed unless Lebanon is covered. The deal’s architect says it includes Lebanon. The deal’s beneficiary says it excludes Lebanon. And now the deal’s other signatory says the core deliverable is revoked unless the excluded front is reinstated.
This is what happens when a ceasefire is brokered through intermediaries who need both sides to say yes more than they need both sides to agree. Pakistan shuttled drafts between Washington and Tehran through five mediating channels in one chaotic day. Egypt bridged language. Turkey provided backchannels. China urged an off-ramp. The framework was drafted with sufficient ambiguity that Iran could tell Hezbollah it was covered and Israel could tell its public it was not. That ambiguity held for exactly 18 hours before the IDF’s 100-target strike forced Iran to choose between Hezbollah solidarity and Hormuz revenue.
Iran chose Hezbollah.
The implications cascade immediately. If Iran follows through and halts Hormuz reopening, the 15 to 20 vessels currently transiting under IRGC clearance codes stop. The yuan toll revenue that was funding reconstruction stops. The ceasefire’s only tangible achievement, the strait reopening that crashed oil prices, reverses. And Trump’s conditional two-week suspension, which was explicitly revocable if Hormuz did not open immediately and safely, faces its trigger event on day one.
Trump has three options. Accept Lebanon inclusion, which means pressuring Netanyahu to halt strikes against Hezbollah, which Israel has refused. Reject Lebanon inclusion, which means Iran re-closes Hormuz, which voids the ceasefire’s premise. Or ignore the threat and continue as if the 15 ships passing through a yuan toll booth constitute an open strait, which means the Islamabad talks on Friday begin over a deal that both parties are publicly threatening to revoke.
The molecule crisis does not pause for diplomatic fractures. The crackers are rubble. The pipeline bypass just took a drone. The fertiliser is trapped behind the gate. The centrifuges are spinning. And the strait that was supposed to reopen as the war’s first peace dividend is now being held hostage to a front that was never agreed upon, by a parliament that legislated tolls on March 31, in a country whose supreme leader has not been seen in 39 days.
One ceasefire. Three interpretations. Zero days before collapse.
