The IDF is prepared and ready to return to intensive combat operations, immediately, in any arena.

Hezbollah is fighting a defensive battle to prevent our forces from completing the destruction of these infrastructures.

Hezbollah is the one that violated the ceasefire. It is trying to defend its capabilities it built over the years.

It is important for me to make it clear: our forces have full operational freedom of action, to remove threats in any area.

There is no limit [concerning] removing threats.

Agreements are at the political level. We will continue to act according to the instructions.

We have not received other instructions.

We are also operating in order to prevent threats beyond the "Yellow Line."

We will continue to work according to the instructions that are currently in place.

One of the main goals of the Friday meeting in Switzerland was to sign the memorandum ending the imposed war, and it was planned that on the sidelines of the signing ceremony, arrangements related to the final agreement negotiations would also be discussed.

Given that the signing of the memorandum text was done digitally on the morning of June 18, holding the mentioned meeting in Switzerland is not urgent, but planning is underway to hold a meeting in the coming days.

The book depicts Trump viewing politics through a show-business lens. At one Oval Office meeting, he said, “I’m not a big fan of Ukraine. Except their women. They keep winning Miss Universe.”

Explaining his choice of John Ratcliffe as CIA director, Trump remarked, “If you were going to cast a guy to play C.I.A. director, that’s who you’d pick.”

The authors also claim Trump described his February 2025 confrontation with Ukrainian President Zelensky as “great television” and “better than ‘The Apprentice.’”

The book also further unveils that Hegseth regularly supplied Trump with footage of graphic drone-strike on human targets, which one official referred to as “Hegseth’s snuff films.”

The discussions focused on the impact of the controversy on Trump’s political base, how the administration should respond publicly, and concerns about allegations that could surface in government-released documents related to Epstein.

The book says officials closely monitored the issue because of its potential political consequences for the administration.

Trump argued that he possessed greater global reach because “they didn’t have airplanes,” while saying those rulers had “maintained power through fear.”

The book also says Trump took satisfaction in seeing technology executives who had previously opposed him seek closer relations after the 2024 election. He described figures such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos as “kissing my ass” and later told Elon Musk, “They hated me ... and look at them now.”

The book recounts an episode in which Trump was trying to remember the name of a former official who had rejected claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Adviser Stephen Miller suggested he might be referring to a Homeland Security official, while attorney Boris Epshteyn searched his phone and identified the person as Chris Krebs.

After being reminded of Krebs' name, Trump responded, “Yeah, Chris Krebs. Whatever happened to him? He was a bad one. Take a look at him.”

The book states that days later, the White House issued an executive order directing the Justice Department to investigate Krebs.

The book says Trump first learned of Kirk’s death from his son, Barron Trump, who called him in a state of panic. Barron expressed concern that his father—who survived an assassination attempt in 2024—could be targeted again and warned that appearing before large crowds was risky.

According to the authors, Trump tried to reassure him, saying, “Calm down, honey, calm down,” but was himself visibly shaken by the news.
