US President Joe Biden expressed support for Israel after the operation that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. This event caused a wide response in the international community and raised questions about the future actions of the United States in the Middle East.
"His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis and Lebanese civilians," the White House website said.
Biden recalled that after the Hamas invasion of Israel, "Nasrallah made the fateful decision to unite with Hamas and open what he called a 'northern front' against Israel."
At the same time, the US president stated that his goal is "to de-escalate the current conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon through diplomatic means."
"In Lebanon, we are negotiating an agreement that will allow people to return safely to their homes in Israel and South Lebanon," he added.
