US President Joe Biden tells the UN General Assembly that he remains determined to prevent a regional war and stresses that it is still possible to achieve a diplomatic resolution between Israel and Hezbollah that would prevent such an outcome.
“Since October 7, we’ve also been determined to prevent a wider war than engulfs the entire region,” Biden says.
“Hezbollah, unprovoked, following the [Hamas] October 7 attack, began launching rockets in Israel,” he says. “Almost a year later, too many on each side of the Israeli-Lebanon border remain displaced.”
“Full-scale war is not in anyone’s interest. Even as the situation has escalated, a diplomatic solution is still possible. In fact, it remains the only path to lasting security to allow the residents from both countries to return to their homes and the border safely. That’s… what we’re working tirelessly to achieve,” Biden adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
