Recent developments in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah have raised concerns within the Biden administration regarding Israel's military operations in Lebanon and against Iran. The US, which had proposed a ceasefire deal with France, is now focusing on shaping and limiting Israeli actions rather than halting hostilities.
Despite US efforts to negotiate a ceasefire, Israel's intense bombing campaign and ground invasion of Lebanon have resulted in significant casualties and displacement of civilians. The Biden administration is worried that Israel's limited operation could escalate into a prolonged conflict.
