The US President recalled that the leader of Hezbollah was responsible for killing hundreds of Americans during his forty-year reign of terror.
The death of the leader of a terrorist group is an act of justice. US President Joe Biden said this when commenting on the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed the previous day as a result of an Israeli strike on the Lebanese capital. The corresponding statement was published on Saturday, September 28, by the White House website.
“Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he leads, Hezbollah, are responsible for killing hundreds of Americans during a forty-year reign of terror. His death from an Israeli airstrike is an act of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis and Lebanese citizens,” Biden said in a statement.
He recalled that the strike that killed Nasrallah took place in the wider context of the conflict that began with the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023, when the following day Nasrallah made the fateful decision to join forces with Hamas and open the so-called his “northern front” against Israel.
Biden reaffirmed US support for Israel amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
“The United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and any other terrorist group supported by Iran,” the US president said, citing a new US-Israel agreement to provide an $8.7 billion aid package to reduce risk. of a wider regional war.
We remind you that on Saturday the Shiite movement Hezbollah officially confirmed the death of its leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Nasrallah was killed in an airstrike on September 27 in Beirut.
