“Let’s be clear: Israel did not start this war, the Lebanese people did not seek this war, nor did the United States,” said the American president.
The American president said that more than 70,000 Israelis have been forced to live as refugees, while they watch their communities being “destroyed”. Furthermore, according to him, more than 300,000 Lebanese were also forced to become refugees. “This has been the deadliest conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in decades.”

The people of Gaza “deserve an end to the fighting”, said the US president, calling the situation in the region “hell”.
According to Biden, Hamas has a “only way out”: release the hostages taken from Israel last year and end the fighting, which would allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
