    According to Jake Horton & Nick Beake at BBC from 15 October:

    • Israel - Hamas (not over as Israel repeatedly violates ceasefire and Palestinians continue to struggle for basic human needs, fend off settler attacks, and heal from de facto genocide while billionaires’ mouths water over waterfront property)

    “Hamas and other factions inside Gaza are rejecting the U.S.-backed U.N. plan to place Gaza under the control of a U.S.-led board and an international stabilization force.” (Democracy Now, 20 November)

    • Israel - Iran (12 days, ceasefire)

    “There is no agreement on a permanent peace or on how to monitor Iran’s nuclear programme going forward,” argues Mr O’Hanlon. (BBC)

    “So what we have is more of a de facto ceasefire than an end to war, but I’d give him some credit, as the weakening of Iran by Israel - with US help - has been strategically significant.” (BBC)

    • India - Pakistan (4 days, ceasefire, not him)

    “The talks regarding cessation of military action were held directly between India and Pakistan under the existing channels established between both militaries,” Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said. (BBC)

    • Rwanda - DR Congo (1994 to present, not over)

    “There’s still fighting between Congo and Rwanda - so that ceasefire has never really held,” says Margaret MacMillan (BBC)

    • Thailand - Cambodia (less than a week, ceasefire)

    On 7 August, Thailand and Cambodia reached an agreement aimed at reducing tensions along their shared border. (BBC)

    • Armenia - Azerbaijan (nearly 40 years, actually them)

    “The leaders of both countries said Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in securing a peace deal, announced at the White House on 8 August.” (BBC)

    • Egypt - Ethiopia (what war?)

    There was no “war” here for the president to end, but there have long been tensions over a dam on the River Nile… No formal deal has been reached between Egypt and Ethiopia to resolve their differences. (BBC)

    • Serbia - Kosovo (again, what?)

    “Serbia and Kosovo haven’t been fighting or firing at each other, so it’s not a war to end,” Prof MacMillan told us. (BBC)

    The 8 wars;

    1. The combover
    2. his girdle
    3. the water pressure
    4. that mouse in the East Wing
    5. the lid on the ketchup bottle
    6. the lid on the bottle of orange face paint he uses
    7. he finally got melania to hold his hand… once
    8. the war with the truth

    I think he’s referring to every time Israel has agreed to a ceasefire under his watch.

    spoiler:

    It is a mystery. 👻

    My theory is he has a bunch of war movies in his watch list and the 8 he ended were just the ones he watched.
