Biden says all-out war is still possible as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah escalates
President Joe Biden said Wednesday that 바카라 게임 웹사이트all-out war바카라 게임 웹사이트 is still possible as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah escalates, but he's hopeful an off-ramp can be found to prevent further bloodshed.
Biden spoke during an interview on ABC바카라 게임 웹사이트s "The View." His comments came after days of back and forth between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon that have killed hundreds and rekindled fears of a broader war in the Middle East.
The president, who addressed the yearly U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, was asked by one of the program's co-hosts about the possibility of an 바카라 게임 웹사이트all-out바카라 게임 웹사이트 war in the region, whether a cease-fire was still achievable and whether he would condition a cease-fire on all hostages being returned alive.
바카라 게임 웹사이트An all-out war is possible,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Biden said, adding that he thinks the opportunity also exists 바카라 게임 웹사이트to have a settlement that can fundamentally change the whole region.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Biden suggested that getting Israel and Hezbollah to agree to a cease-fire could help achieve a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza. That war is approaching the one-year mark on Oct. 7 when Hamas invaded southern Israel, and has caused tens of thousands of deaths, the majority being of Palestinians in Gaza.
바카라 게임 웹사이트It's possible and I'm using every bit of energy I have with my team 바카라 게임 웹사이트 to get this done,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트There's a desire to see change in the region.바카라 게임 웹사이트

The chief of Israel's army said Wednesday that the military is preparing for a possible ground operation in Lebanon as Hezbollah hurled dozens of projectiles into Israel, including a missile aimed at Tel Aviv that was the militant group바카라 게임 웹사이트s deepest strike yet.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been urging both Israel and Hezbollah to step back from their current intensifying conflict, saying that all-out war would be disastrous for the region.
In New York for the annual U.N. General Assembly, Blinken said Wednesday the U.S. was working on a plan to de-escalate tensions and allow tens of thousands of Israelis and Lebanese to return to homes they have had to evacuate in border areas.
바카라 게임 웹사이트The best way to get that is not through war, not through escalation,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said in an interview with CBS 온라인 바카라 게임.
바카라 게임 웹사이트It would be through a diplomatic agreement that has forces pulled back from the border, create a secure environment, people return home,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Blinken said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트That바카라 게임 웹사이트s what we바카라 게임 웹사이트re driving toward because while there바카라 게임 웹사이트s a very legitimate issue here, we don바카라 게임 웹사이트t think that war is the solution.바카라 게임 웹사이트
U.S. officials say they are floating a number of ideas to calm the situation but they have not been specific about what the scenarios would entail.
France has called a special U.N. Security Council meeting on Lebanon for later Wednesday at which some of those ideas may be discussed.
바카라 게임 웹사이트What we바카라 게임 웹사이트re focused on now, including with many partners here in New York at the U.N. General Assembly, the Arab world, Europeans and others, is a plan to de-escalate,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Blinken said.
바카라 게임 웹사이트If there were to be a full-scale war 바카라 게임 웹사이트 which we don바카라 게임 웹사이트t have and which we바카라 게임 웹사이트re working to avoid 바카라 게임 웹사이트 that바카라 게임 웹사이트s actually not going to solve the problem," Blinken said.
