UNITED NATIONS (AP) — After a day filled with hopes of a cease-fire between Lebanon and Israel, the U.N. General Assembly meeting Friday was a harsh reality check.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, having rejected a US-initiated Gaza ceasefire and calls from Western allies to avoid a wider Middle East war, has put into motion his own more bellicose plan: to secure Israeli military dominance in the region he feels has slipped away.
Israeli strikes on Monday killed more than 350 Lebanese, including more than 60 women and children, Lebanese authorities said, in the deadliest barrage since the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war as the Israeli military warned residents in southern and eastern Lebanon to evacuate ahead of a widening air campaign against Hezbollah.
Israel and Hezbollah exchanged heavy fire into Sunday, with Israeli warplanes carrying out the most intense bombardment in almost a year of conflict across Lebanon's south and Hezbollah firing rockets deep into northern Israel.
After several tumultuous weeks in Israel, mass demonstrations increasingly depict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as directly responsible for the fate of the hostages still held by Hamas.
The alleged Israeli attack on members of Hezbollah via their pagers is another ominous development propelling the Middle East towards a full-scale regional war. It leaves Hezbollah with little option but to retaliate with the full support of the Iran-led “axis of resistance.”
Months of US efforts to produce a Gaza War ceasefire are fizzling out and a frustrated President Joe Biden is directly blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the failure. Asked by a reporter on Monday (September 2) whether Netanyahu was doing enough to push forward a truce, Biden tersely answered, “No.”
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, yesterday brushed aside pleas from allies and chants from Israeli protesters who demanded an immediate cease-fire in Gaza.
