The Biden administration is pushing for a diplomatic solution to end the attacks between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, which have killed dozens of people in Beirut and pushed hundreds of thousands into underground shelters in Israel’s north. According to a statement from the Pentagon, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke with Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant on Saturday about the Hezbollah rocket attacks and stressed the need for a diplomatic solution. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective as the war spreads to Israel’s northern front, risking an all-out regional conflict, FRANCE 24 is joined by Dr H. A. Hellyer, Scholar in the Middle East Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington DC, specialising in Security Studies.
