We have destabilizing news from the Middle East, where the Lebanese have recovered the body of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Iran-backed Hezbollah, which the US government considers a terrorist group, who was killed in an Israeli strike on Friday. President Biden said the killing was a measure of justice for the victims and their families, but Israel attacked more Hezbollah targets overnight, President Biden also called for a ceasefire in the region, as US officials look carefully at Iran’s threat of retaliation for his role in the death and the possibility that Israel could move ground forces into the laboratory. President Biden is pleased that Israel took this action, I don’t think anybody is mourning the loss of Mr. Hass Rolla, a known terrorist, a man who has American blood on his hands. Also rarely does he have blood on his hands, it’s a terrorist organization, he was the leader of it.
I think now people are safer without him but they will try to recover we are watching what they do to fill this leadership void it will be hard much of their command structure has now been wiped out so the Israelis carried out a number of heavy bombings and demolitions of buildings along the densely populated B Routes or the Barbie Route in the heart of SA do you have any indication of what all the civilian death toll might be I don’t think we have any exact numbers Jack what we certainly believe. The fact that we go and go so far shows we know there have been civilian casualties here. There’s no question to me about it, dozens hundreds of thousands, I don’t think we can quantify it right now
In fact every single million deaths count as a tragedy and certainly again no one dawns, his role as a death, we certainly do more in any loss of civilian life, so President Obama talked about an airstrike against the compound before he ordered Seal Team Six to go in and take our bin Laden. So because they weren’t sure about the intelligence. Because they were concerned about Obama, concerned about civilian casualties, whether Israel would want a different direction, obviously their intelligence was solid. But do you think Israel made the right decision by doing it the way it did, I think destroying the command structure of Hezbollah certainly works to Israel’s advantage. It’s really good for the region, good for the world.
Continuing to talk to the Israelis about what the right next steps are. As you rightly said at the beginning, the President believes that diplomacy requires time and space. That means we want to see a ceasefire and a space where bad diplomacy can breathe, Iran condemned this Rollins killing, said the US is complicit in Israel. sanctions or how concerned President Biden is about the possibility of a direct military conflict between Israel and. Iran has certainly tried a number of things, including Iran and perhaps even the United States. Including recently hacking President Trump’s campaign and the assassination attempt on the President.
concerned are currently writing about a potential direct confrontation between the US and Iran. Women are concerned from the very beginning of this conflict about it widening and becoming a regional war. That’s why again the President and the G seven leaders talked just a few days ago about calling for a twenty-one day ceasefire and all the other actions the President is taking including adding force capability military force to Jake. It is designed to deter in the region.
