The escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon is posing a significant challenge to President Joe Biden's efforts to reduce tension in the Middle East. The ongoing crisis is overshadowing Biden's foreign policy legacy and complicating his goal of securing a ceasefire-and-hostage deal in the region.
Israeli warplanes have been striking targets in Lebanon, while Hezbollah has been firing rockets and drones into northern Israel. The White House is closely monitoring the situation, with officials expressing serious concerns about the risk of escalation.
