In a statement following the death of Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli attack, US President Joe Biden, in a speech, called it” a estimate of fairness” on Saturday.
” Hassan Nasrallah and the extremist party he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing thousands of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror. His dying from an Israeli attack is a measure of righteousness for his many patients, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Syrian citizens”, said Biden.
Nasrallah’s death comes amid an intensifying conflict that erupted after Hamas’s dangerous October 7, 2023, abuse on Israel, which claimed the lives of over a thousand people. The morning following that assault, Nasrallah announced Hezbollah’s decision to join the issue, opening a “northern top” against Israel.
Biden reaffirmed the US’s unwavering support for Israel’s right to defend itself against teams such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and another Iranian-backed violent companies. ” The United States completely supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and any other Iranian-supported criminal groupings”, he said.
Additionally, the leader made it known that he had ordered US military units in the area to strengthen their defensive posture in an effort to deter more aggression and stop a broader war.
Biden emphasized that the ultimate goal is de-escalation through political work despite the escalating tensions. He claimed that the US and the UN Security Council are negotiating a truce and the transfer of victims in Gaza. We have been negotiating a deal in Lebanon that may allow people to return to their homes in southwestern Lebanon and Israel. It is time for these deals to shut, for the challenges to Israel to remain removed, and for the broader Middle East region to achieve greater stability”, Biden added.
Prior to reversing its expert against any journey to the land, the US State Department had previously warned British citizens and the families of military employees in Beirut to leave the country. It also had previously advised the families of some Lebanoni employees to keep.
The US Embassy urges US residents to leave Lebanon while professional options remain open due to the increased uncertainty following airstrikes inside Beirut and the dangerous and unstable security situation throughout Lebanon, according to a statement released on Saturday.
However, US vice chairman Kamala Harris, who was attending two campaign donations in California, released a separate speech that aligned with Biden’s approach on Nasrallah’s dying. In her speech, she emphasised her unwavering dedication to Israel’s protection, stating her determination was “unwavering”.
