President Biden: US had ‘no knowledge of’ Israeli attack

President Joe Biden says the United States had “no knowledge of or participation in” Israeli military strikes on Beirut.

“We’re gathering more information. I’ll have more to say when we have more information,” Biden said after he arrived in his home state of Delaware for the weekend.

Asked about his support for Israel’s right to self-defence and whether he supported the strikes on Lebanon’s capital, Biden said he needed more information. “I don’t know enough to answer that question.”


Always looking for more information, ignoring the information, send more bombs to Israel anyway.


US to ‘adjust’ its military force posture in Middle East

President Joe Biden directed the Pentagon to “assess and adjust as necessary US force posture” in the Middle East, the White House says.

The move comes after repeated Israeli air strikes in southern Beirut collapsed at least six residential towers in the heavily populated Dahiyeh area.

“He has directed the Pentagon to assess and adjust as necessary US force posture in the region to enhance deterrence, ensure force protection, and support the full range of US objectives,” the White House said in a statement.

US Muslim group condemns US support for ‘Netanyahu’s madness’

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned the US government’s inaction after the latest Israeli attack on Lebanon.

“By levelling an entire city block without any regard for civilian life, the genocidal Israeli government is screaming to anyone who will listen that it wants to carry on the genocide in Gaza, use Lebanon to spark an all-out war in the Middle East, and drag the United States into that war,” said Edward Ahmed Mitchell, CAIR’s deputy executive director.

“President Biden must stop enabling Netanyahu’s madness. President Biden must leverage US financial, diplomatic and military support to force a ceasefire on Netanyahu immediately.”


Smoke rises from Israeli air strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs early Saturday
