US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned that Lebanon will suffer if drawn into a war between Israel and Hamas. This was announced by US State Department Speaker Matthew Miller.
He noted that Blinken spoke with interim Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati to reaffirm US support for the Lebanese people and note concerns about rising tensions along Lebanon’s southern border.
According to Miller, the Secretary of State reiterated the importance of respecting the interests of the Lebanese people, who have suffered from Lebanon’s involvement in the conflict provoked by Hamas attacks on Israel.
Blinken expressed his condolences to the families of the Lebanese civilians tragically killed in the conflict and emphasized the United States’ continued support for the Lebanese Armed Forces and Internal Security Forces, the only legitimate guarantors of Lebanon’s stability and territorial integrity. .
Let’s remember that after the Hamas attack on Israel, the Lebanese Hezbollah announced that it was ready to join the Hamas group in the war against Israel.
A few days later, the IDF launched strikes against Hezbollah targets on the Lebanese border. The attack was a response to the shelling on Wednesday, October 17.
