Top U.S. General Warns Netanyahu Over War With Hezbollah, Cites This Big Reason To Avoid Escalation

More than eight months of war in Gaza has heightened tensions across the region, with Israeli forces and Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah exchanging fire on a near-daily basis.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met his Israeli counterpart Yoav Gallant at the Pentagon on Tuesday, warning that a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah could spark a regional war and urging a diplomatic solution.

More than eight months of war in Gaza has heightened tensions across the region, with Israeli forces and Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah exchanging fire on a near-daily basis.


"Another war between Israel and Hezbollah could easily become a regional war, with terrible consequences for the Middle East," Austin said. "Diplomacy is by far the best way to prevent more escalation."


Gallant, speaking at the opening of the meeting with Austin, said "we are working closely together to achieve an agreement but we must also discuss readiness on every possible scenario.


The Israeli military announced last week that plans to attack Lebanon had been "approved and confirmed" amid escalating cross-border clashes, but the United States is trying to calm the temperature and prevent a new major conflict in the Middle East.


Gallant is visiting Washington to reaffirm the value of relations with Israel's key ally after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly criticized the United States for delays in arms deliveries.


The US government claims that only one shipment of bombs was put on hold due to concerns about their use in populated areas, while other arms shipments are proceeding as normal.


The US is Israel's main arms supplier, but the rising death toll in the Gaza conflict has increased pressure on President Joe Biden to act, raising tensions between his administration and Prime Minister Netanyahu.


Gallant had met with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Washington the day before. A senior US diplomat called on Israel to avoid escalation in Lebanon.


The Israeli minister also met with CIA Director Bill Burns, who is the main U.S. liaison in negotiating the release of Hamas hostages, which launched unprecedented attacks against Israel in October, sparking a devastating conflict in the Gaza Strip.


Netanyahu said Israeli forces were finishing the most intense part of the Gaza conflict and would return to the northern border, but described the move as defensive.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24.

Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di

  Terrorist Attacks on Israel and Indian Solidarity with Israel as India also Suffers Islamic Terror                         Islamic terrorism is a global threat, and no country is immune. Israel and India are two countries that have been particularly hard hit by terrorist attacks. In recent years, there has been a growing solidarity between the two countries in the fight against terrorism. Israel is a small country in the Middle East that is surrounded by hostile neighbors. Since its founding in 1948, Israel has been the target of numerous terrorist attacks. These attacks have been carried out by a variety of groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Terrorist attacks in Israel have killed thousands of people and injured many more. The attacks have also caused significant economic damage. In 2014, for example, the cost of terrorism to the Israeli economy was estimated to be over $5 billion. India is another country that has been severely impacted by Islami

  Hamas is a paramilitary group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel. The group has been responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, including children and women. #BarbericHamas #BrutalityagainstIsraeliwWomenChildren #IndiawithIsrael #TerroristHamas  In one particularly barbaric act, Hamas militants attacked a school bus in southern Israel in 2004, killing five Israeli children and wounding several others.
