The United State of America (USA) has never wavered in its support for its ally Israel, as things intensify in the Middle East and a full scale regional war is eminent, America still throws its weight behind Israel.
Many countries across the world have expressed their disgust in Israel’s disregard for innocent lives and international law. In their pursuit for their enemy Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the eventual killing of its leaders Hassan Nasrallah and other high ranking officers of the militant group, hundreds of innocent lives were lost and thousands have been displaced.
Despite the criticism levelled against Israel’s action, America still stands with its ally. The Vice President of USA Kamala Harris, in celebrating the assassination of Nasrallah, said he was a terrorist with American blood on his hands.
Harris said, Nasrallah’s leadership in Hezbollah has led to the death of countless innocent people for decades, he has destabilised the Middle East in Lebanon, Syria, Israel and around the world. She said the killing of Hassan Nasrallah is somewhat a measure of justice for his victims.
The Vice President of USA Kamala Harris, in celebrating the assassination of Nasrallah, said he was a terrorist with American blood on his hands.
Harris was not shy to through her weight behind Israel to show America’s solidarity with them.
“I have an unwavering commitment to the security of Israel. I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis,” she said.
The Vice President however said she and President Joe Biden would not like to see tensions escalate in the Middle East, America instead prefers a peaceful resolution to the conflicts.
“President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region,” said Kamala Harris.
