The United States and Israel are engaged in discussions regarding the ongoing military actions in Lebanon. The State Department has indicated that the duration of Israel's incursions into Lebanon remains uncertain.
A State Department spokesperson mentioned that the outcome of the situation is unpredictable, with even the Israeli authorities unsure of the eventual course of events. The spokesperson emphasized that assessments will be made in real-time as the situation unfolds.
Regarding the end game of the conflict in northern Israel, the State Department deferred to the Israeli government for clarification. The Israeli military has intensified its operations, including cross-border incursions and strikes in Beirut targeting Hezbollah.
While details about Israel's military strategy remain unclear, the State Department expressed full support for Israel's efforts to target Hezbollah's infrastructure with specific objectives. The US aims for a diplomatic resolution but also seeks to weaken Hezbollah's capabilities.
