US President Joe Biden praised Israel's airstrike that killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah group, calling it a “measure of justice” for victims of his four-decade “reign of terror.” He noted that Nasrallah’s decision to join Hamas in its attacks on Israel was fateful.
Biden noted that Hezbollah under Nasrallah’s watch has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, Israel is and Lebanese.The Israel i strike that killed Hezbollah ’s Hassan Nasrallah was a “measure of justice" for victims of a four-decade “reign of terror,”
Hezbollah attacks against U.S. interests include the truck bombing of the U.S. Embassy and multinational force barracks in Beirut in 1983 and the kidnapping of the Central Intelligence Agency chief of station in Beirut, who died while held captive. The U.S. said Hezbollah leaders armed and trained militias that carried out attacks on American forces during the war in Iraq.
The confirmation of Nasrallah's death comes during a week that began with Biden’s top national security aides working on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly to build support for a 21-day Israel-Hezbollah cease-fire that they hoped might also breathe new life into stalled efforts to secure a truce in Gaza.
“It is time for these deals to close, for the threats to Israel to be removed, and for the broader Middle East region to gain greater stability,” Biden said.
