As the title says it appears according to this article that the recent cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel is a direct result of the Trump presidency. This is coming from NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis so it would seem that as he is speaking on behalf of NATO that maybe this is really the case. Trump also allocates a big portion of his policy and campaign "on what he has called President Joe Biden's weakness and Iran appeasement making America more weak on the world stage and the world less stable as wars rage in Ukraine and the Middle East". So it would make sense that just his presence as the next president could shift things in these wars. But it seems hard to know for sure whether or not Trump is necessarily responsible for this cease-fire.
