U.S. Support for Israeli Military Strategy

The recent U.S. stance on military actions in the Middle East reflects a tacit approval of Israeli operations against Hezbollah and Hamas. Following attacks by Hezbollah in solidarity with Gaza, Israel's response has resulted in significant civilian casualties in Lebanon, yet the U.S. has moved away from advocating for a ceasefire. Instead, officials suggest that Israel can escalate its military actions as a strategy to achieve future diplomatic resolutions. This approach highlights the U.S. goal of aiding Israel in degrading its regional adversaries to facilitate a normalization of relations with other Arab states.
