Israel is pounding Lebanon, killing hundreds and highlighting the powerlessness of his warnings.
UNITED NATIONS – For nearly a year, one of US President Joe Biden's top priorities has been to prevent the Gaza war from spiraling into an all-out regional conflict.
A US official on the sidelines of the United Nations gathering said the Biden administration was presenting "concrete ideas" to provide an "off-ramp" to prevent further fighting and lead to a diplomatic solution. Nearly a year after an unprecedented Hamas attack on Israel that prompted its relentless assault on Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brushed aside warnings of the dangers of regional war and said his country's goal was to change the "security balance" with its northern neighbor Lebanon.
The Gaza truce effort "looks like it's at a dead end, and efforts to decouple the two -- to reach an agreement between Hezbollah and Israel while the war in Gaza continues, has also proven to be a dead end," he said.Complicating matters is the US political calendar, with Biden's heir Kamala Harris locked in a tough race against Donald Trump for the US presidency ahead of November 5 elections.
James Jeffrey, a former US ambassador to Iraq and Turkey who takes a hard line against Iran, said that US policymakers instinctively promoted ceasefires but that Netanyahu, like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, was more concerned about his country's security. Netanyahu "has prioritized restoring deterrence and regaining military superiority over anything like pleasing Washington and the international community," he said.Biden has repeatedly voiced concern to Netanyahu over the plight of civilians in Gaza but has mostly held off on using the ultimate US leverage -- withholding the billions of dollars in US military aid to Israel.
