The tension between Israel and Lebanon has reached a critical point, with the Biden administration appearing to have lost control to Israel in the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Ali Vaez, director of the Iran research programme at International Crisis Group, has pointed out that Israel has taken aggressive actions, such as targeting Beirut, despite the US calling for a diplomatic solution between the two nations.
Vaez went on to suggest that Israel is using the United States as its proxy, acting without restraint or accountability. He highlighted a window of opportunity in the five weeks leading up to the US presidential election, during which Israel may take even more aggressive actions in the region.
This situation raises concerns about the role of the US in mediating conflicts in the Middle East, as well as the potential consequences of Israel’s assertive actions. As tensions continue to rise, it remains to be seen how the Biden administration will respond and regain control in the midst of this crisis.
