“Trump forced Israel into a ceasefire with Lebanon”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources (BBC News, Radio-Canada/AP) confirm that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon was announced by President Trump and took effect. Additionally, reports of 'escalating US pressure' and Trump's direct involvement in negotiations support the claim that he compelled the agreement.

“the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is ‘extremely problematic, not only for Netanyahu, but for the Israeli public”
CORROBORATED
The existence of a ceasefire is confirmed by the evidence for claim 0. Regarding the 'problematic' nature, Jpost explicitly states the ceasefire 'forced on Israel is basically non-existent' due to Hezbollah's actions, and Flipboard mentions 'continued strikes in Lebanon,' indicating the agreement is fragile or failing.

“the Israeli public who were promised for two and a half years now, absolute victory”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one source confirms that Benjamin Netanyahu laid out a vision of 'absolute victory' to his war cabinet in February (four months into the Gaza invasion), there is no evidence in the provided results to corroborate that this specific promise was made to the 'Israeli public' for a duration of 'two and a half years'. The other search results are irrelevant (general Wikipedia entry on Israel and AIPAC history).
