A national security spokesman said, John Kirby “They’re going to try to bounce back. We’re watching to see what they do to try to fill this leadership void.”
In reference to the raid that led to the killing of the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah“I think people are safer without him,” Kirby said. However, in his interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” program, he avoided answering questions about whether the American administration agreed with the way Israel targeted Hezbollah leaders.
Lebanese officials announced that the raids resulted in the deaths of many civilians.
The White House continues to invite Israel Hezbollah agreed to a temporary ceasefire for 21 days, which was proposed by the United States, France and other countries last week, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected it.
