Situation in Israel and Lebanon
Q. [Inaudible]—message for Eric Adams?
The President. I'm going to make one statement.
As you can see, we've put out a statement for a 21-day cease-fire along the Israeli-Lebanese border. We were able to generate significant support from Europe as well as the Arab nations. It's important this war not widen.
I'll have more to say about it tomorrow.
Q. Mr. President—[inaudible]—a cease-fire's unviable?
