Biden says working to return people in Lebanon, Israel to their homes
Speaking to reporters amid the rising Israel-Hezbollah tensions, the US president has said he wants to “make sure that the people in northern Israel as well as southern Lebanon are able to go back to their homes, to go back safely”. For months, critics have urged Biden to apply more pressure on Israel – the US’s top Middle East ally – to end its war on the Gaza Strip, which they say is critical to avoiding a wider regional war. The Biden administration has remained a staunch backer of Israel during the war.
