The United States has voiced strong support for Israel's ongoing military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, including an airstrike that killed the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah. While reaffirming its backing for Israel's right to self-defense, the US also called for ceasefires in both Lebanon and Gaza.
The United States on Saturday offered clear support for Israel ’s bombing campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, including a strike that killed the group’s longtime leader, but also said the time has come for ceasefires there and in Gaza.
Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running for president in November, called Nasrallah “a terrorist with American blood on his hands.” “This cycle of violence must stop now, and all sides must step back from the brink. The people of Lebanon, the people of Israel, as well as the wider region, cannot afford an all-out war.”“Ultimately, our aim is to de-escalate the ongoing conflicts in both Gaza and Lebanon through diplomatic means,” he said, mentioning a ceasefire proposal in Gaza and negotiations on allowing the safe return of residents to Israel and southern Lebanon.
Biden said he had directed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to “further enhance the defense posture of US military forces in the Middle East region to deter aggression and reduce the risk of a broader regional war.”
