U.S. President Joe Biden has urged for an immediate ceasefire amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Israel commenced targeted ground operations in southern Lebanon, despite U.S. appeals to avoid a wider conflict. Biden expressed his discomfort with the Israeli actions and emphasized the need for diplomacy to resolve the crisis.
