The President of the U.S. Joe Biden said on Friday that he is very concerned about the situation in the Middle East and at the same time called on the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Netanyahu) to quickly reach a cease-fire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
Iran and its affiliated groups are preparing a response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Haniyeh‘sassassination, which took place on July 31st, is attributed to Israel by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Tehran.
His death occurred a day after an Israeli strike killed Hezbollah military leader Fuad Shokur near Beirut.
The two attacks are reviving fears of the war spreading to the entire Middle East, between Israel on the one hand and Iran and groups supporting it in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen on the other.
