Escalating Conflict: Lebanon Looks to the US for Intervention
Amid ongoing strikes between Israel and Hezbollah, Lebanon has stated that only the United States can help bring an end to the violence. The Lebanese foreign minister highlighted the US's crucial role in addressing the crisis, yet expressed disappointment in President Biden's recent remarks, labeling them 'not promising.' The situation has escalated with the death toll in Lebanon surpassing 500 following an Israeli air strike on Beirut that killed a Hezbollah commander. While some discussions have emerged about possible land swaps to resolve the conflict, experts believe such measures will not effectively address the underlying issues.
