"Kristol pointed to Trump not mentioning Hegseth in his Truth Social post announcing a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon as one of two key pieces of evidence that Hegseth has lost Trump's confidence."
"Trump wrote on Truth Social, 'I just had excellent conversations with the Highly Respected President Joseph Aoun, of Lebanon, and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel.'"
"The omission of Hegseth from the list of those Trump directs to work on the ceasefire, along with Driscoll's embrace of Gen. George earlier today, makes me think Hegseth's days are numbered."
Bill Kristol suggests that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's position is precarious following President Trump's omission of Hegseth in a ceasefire announcement between Israel and Lebanon. Trump highlighted other officials, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, while directing efforts for peace. Kristol interprets this as a sign that Hegseth's influence is waning, especially in light of recent political dynamics and endorsements of other military leaders. The situation reflects ongoing shifts within the Trump administration's defense leadership.
