The United States has reaffirmed its strong commitment to Israel's security in the face of threats from Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah. A spokesperson from the White House National Security Council emphasized that the U.S. stands firmly with Israel, describing its support as 'ironclad and unwavering.'
The statement came in response to a recent attack by Lebanese Hezbollah that tragically resulted in the deaths of 12 children and teenagers who were playing soccer. The spokesperson condemned the attack as horrific and reiterated Israel's right to defend itself against such severe threats.
Vice President Kamala Harris also expressed her unequivocal support for Israel's right to self-defense during a press briefing in Atlanta. The U.S. government is actively engaged in seeking a diplomatic solution to end the cycle of violence and create a safe environment for both Israeli and Palestinian citizens.
While Vice President Harris and other officials have made their positions clear, President Joe Biden has not yet publicly commented on the recent strike. The situation remains tense as efforts continue to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict and prevent further loss of life.
