A Political and National Security Analyst has described Israel's ongoing offensive in Lebanon despite US opposition as a bold display of defiance towards an ally. The analyst highlighted the apparent disconnect between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden, noting that the two leaders have not engaged in dialogue since Israel eliminated Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
The analyst suggested that the lack of communication between Netanyahu and Biden has contributed to the divergence in their stances on the conflict. Despite Biden's recent calls for a ceasefire in Lebanon, Israel has continued its military operations, indicating a breakdown in communication and alignment between the two allies.
