U.S. limits support for Israel's actions in Lebanon to countering Hezbollah
Summary: The U.S. has stated its support for Israel's military actions in Lebanon is focused on limiting Hezbollah's power. The Biden administration aims to facilitate a new presidential election in Lebanon and strengthen its armed forces, hoping to reduce Hezbollah's influence.
The U.S. is pushing for the implementation of U.N. Resolution 1701, which calls for Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon and the establishment of a buffer zone. However, this resolution has not been fully enforced since its adoption in 2006.
Lebanon is facing significant political and economic challenges, including a leadership vacuum and widespread poverty. The ongoing conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and displacements, complicating efforts to stabilize the country and curb Hezbollah's military capabilities.
