To Prevent the Spread of War in the Middle East; Biden Says He Will Speak with Israeli Prime Minister

On Sunday, the President of the United States announced his intention to speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, although the exact timing has not yet been determined. In response to reporters' questions about the content of the conversation, Joe Biden stated, "When I talk to him, I will tell you what I said to him." He also responded to the question of whether a full-scale war in the Middle East could be prevented, saying, "We must do this. We really need to avoid such a war." Biden's remarks come as tensions between Israel and Iranian-backed militant groups in the Middle East are escalating, raising concerns about the spread of conflicts in the region. Hezbollah, which has engaged in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas, announced on Saturday that the leader of this group, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Since the onset of their rocket attacks, Hezbollah has suffered heavy losses from the Israeli army. The rocket attacks by Hezbollah have caused tens of thousands of Israelis to flee their homes in northern Israel. Israel had previously warned that it would establish security in the north of the country either diplomatically or by using force. The Israeli army also announced on Sunday, October 8, that it had attacked positions of the Houthi militants in Yemen, who, like Hezbollah and Hamas, are supported by the Islamic Republic. The Pentagon stated: "We are ready for all necessary actions in the Middle East." Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel still has difficult days ahead. A senior Israeli general stated: "We are conducting the attack correctly in very distant locations." The attack on the Houthis occurred 1,800 kilometers from Israel; Gallant stated: "It's not too far for us."
