According to Kan news, Israeli officials have recently urged the US administration to take action against the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah.
Tensions are rising along the northern border, casting doubt on the prospects for a diplomatic solution. Amidst this, the US administration is worried about the Israel-Hezbollah conflict escalating into a full-scale war.
State Department representatives, commenting on talks between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stated that Netanyahu also raised concerns about preventing an escalation of the conflict and Lebanon's entanglement.
It's worth noting that at the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the United States deployed two aircraft carrier strike groups to the Eastern Mediterranean to deter Hezbollah. This demonstration of gunboat diplomacy proved effective.
