The US fears that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to expand the Middle East war into Lebanon to ensure his political survival, amid domestic criticism of his government's inability to prevent the October 7 Hamas attack. The burning background appeared in the Washington Post: The newspaper cited “private conversations” in which the Israeli government warned of a significant escalation in Lebanon. If this is the case, a new secret assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has found that it will be difficult for the IDF to succeed in this initiative because its resources and military assets are too spread across the various fronts would be The Conflict.
The revelations come as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on tour in the Middle East. Today in particular, the minister is in Jordan and will leave for Qatar in the evening before also stopping in Abu Dhabi. Again, Hezbollah, a long-time enemy of the US with well-trained fighters and tens of thousands of rockets and missiles, wants to avoid a serious escalation, according to the US newspaper. In a speech on Friday, the leader of Lebanon's Nasrallah Organization promised a response to Israeli aggression but suggested he might be open to border negotiations with Israel.
