🇮🇱⚡️Flock of Israeli worshipers head to the Western wall as the announcement of the Invasion of Lebanon was announced.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱l🇺🇸 U.S. greenlights Israel's war in Lebanon

Senior White House figures privately told Israel that the U.S. would support its decision to ramp up military pressure against Hezbullah — even as the Biden administration publicly urged the Israeli government in recent weeks to curtail its strikes, according to American and Israeli officials.

Presidential adviser Amos Hochstein and Brett McGurk, the White House coordinator for the Middle East, told top Israeli officials in recent weeks that the U.S. agreed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s broad strategy to shift Israel’s military focus to the north against Hezbullah in order to convince the group to engage in diplomatic talks to end the conflict, the officials told POLITICO.

Behind the scenes, Hochstein, McGurk and other top U.S. national security officials are selling Israel’s Lebanon operations as a history-defining moment — one that will reshape the Middle East for the better for years to come.

The thinking goes: Israel has obliterated Hezbullah’s top command structure in Lebanon, severely undercutting the group’s capabilities and weakened Iran.
