White House National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett says that US President Joe Biden is “closely monitoring events in Israel and Lebanon.”
“He has been engaged with his national security team throughout the evening,” says Savett. “At his direction, senior US officials have been communicating continuously with their Israeli counterparts. We will keep supporting Israel’s right to defend itself, and we will keep working for regional stability.”
