President Joe Biden promised Benjamin Netanyahu “new defensive US military deployments” as Israel faces fresh threats to avenge assassinations of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, but he also pressed the Israeli leader to move forward with cease-fire efforts.
The assassination of Haniyeh in Tehran and the strike against senior Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukur in Beirut could upend the attempts to defuse a Middle East powder keg, with Iran also threatening to respond after the attack on its territory.
Biden “reaffirmed his commitment to Israel’s security against all threats from Iran, including its proxy terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis,” the White House said in a readout of a call Thursday evening. “The president discussed efforts to support Israel’s defense against threats, including against ballistic missiles and drones, to include new defensive U.S. military deployments.”
