Details: The statement said the strike that killed Nasrallah took place in the wider context of the conflict, which began with a massacre by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
The next day, Nasrallah made the fateful decision to ally with Hamas and open what he called a “northern front” against Israel.
Biden noted that the United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and any other Iranian-backed terrorist groups.
Direct speech Biden: “Just yesterday, I instructed the Secretary of Defense (Lloyd Austin – ed.) to further strengthen the defense capabilities of the US armed forces in the Middle East region in order to deter aggression and reduce the risk of a wider regional war.”
Details: Ultimately, according to Biden, the US goal is to de-escalate the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon through diplomatic means.
Direct speech Biden: “In Gaza, we are trying to reach an agreement, supported by the UN Security Council, on a ceasefire and the release of hostages.
In Lebanon, we are negotiating an agreement that would allow people to return safely to their homes in Israel and southern Lebanon.
It is time to conclude these agreements, remove threats to Israel and ensure greater stability in the Middle East region.”
What preceded: The IDF officially announced the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a result of yesterday’s Israeli air strike on Beirut.
For reference: Nasrallah served as the Secretary General of Hezbollah for 32 years.
He was responsible for directing and carrying out terrorist attacks around the world in which civilians were killed.
Nasrallah was the central decision-maker and strategic leader of the organization.
