Meanwhile, while Iran – supporter of the Lebanese “party of God” – threatens to send ground troops, the US is trying to stop the escalation. US President Joe Biden said yesterday he directed his Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, to “increase the defense posture of US military forces in the Middle East region to deter aggression and reduce the risk of a broader regional war “. The president added that his goal is to de-escalate the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon “through diplomatic means”, and as an example he cited efforts to bring respite to both enclaves which marked the agenda of the General Assembly of United Nations. “In Gaza, we sought an agreement supported by the United Nations Security Council for a ceasefire and the release of hostages. In Lebanon, we negotiated an agreement that would allow people to return safely to their homes in Israel and Lebanon southern”. Biden said that “it is time for these agreements to be concluded, for the threats to Israel to be eliminated, and for the Middle East region as a whole to gain greater stability.”
