US Warns ‘Israel’ Against Two-front War – Report

By Staff, Agencies

The administration of US President Joe Biden is trying to dissuade the Zionist regime from getting involved in a large-scale confrontation with Lebanon’s powerful resistance movement Hezbollah, fearing that it would throw the entire Middle East into turmoil, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing sources.

According to US and ‘Israeli’ officials interviewed by the paper, Washington is concerned that if ‘Israel’ were to launch a major attack not only on Hamas but also on Hezbollah, it would struggle in a two-front war. It also reportedly worries that such an action could draw the US into the conflict along with Iran.

According to the report, the US officials have tried to stay in touch with Hezbollah and Iran using the mediation of Arab countries while advising ‘Israel’ to “take care that their actions in the north against Hezbollah and in the south in Gaza do not give Hezbollah an easy pretext to enter the war.”

According to the New York Times, these concerns were made clear during meetings held by Biden and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken with ‘Israeli’ officials. The US president is said to have particularly “raised the specters of the disastrous decisions” by Washington to invade Iraq and wage a war in Afghanistan.

Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah and the ‘Israeli’ occupation regime have exchanged cross-border fire in recent days. Zionist war minister Yoav Gallant has described Hezbollah as “10 times stronger than Hamas” and warned that the entity’s military should be prepared to engage it.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary General, His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem, said that the group is “in the heart of the battle,” explaining that it is seeking to “weaken the ‘Israeli’ enemy and let them know that we are ready” for a possible major escalation.

The Zionist regime’s brutal war against the people of Gaza started on October 7 after the Gaza-based Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise attack against the regime, called Operation al-Aqsa Flood, by firing thousands of rockets at the occupied territories.

The operation, which was a legitimate response to recurrent acts of violence against Palestinians, touched off an incessant onslaught by the illegal entity on the besieged Gaza Strip, which has so far claimed the lives of more than 4,700 people, mostly civilians, while leaving more than 15,000 others injured.
