Senior US officials have provided reassurances to a delegation of top Israeli officials regarding their commitment to backing Israel in the event of a full-out war on its northern border with Hezbollah. The Biden administration has affirmed its readiness to support its ally, as concerns mount over escalating cross-border attacks between Israel and the Iran-backed group.
The in-person meetings between Israeli and US officials in Washington this week included discussions on various critical issues such as the situation on Israel's northern border, Iran, and ceasefire negotiations. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously accused the US of withholding weapons and ammunition, the recent talks aimed to address these tensions and reaffirm the strong US-Israel alliance.
