Biden 'closely monitoring events' in Israel, Lebanon
President Joe Biden "is closely monitoring events in Israel and Lebanon. He has been engaged with his national security team throughout the evening," White House National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett said.
"At his direction, senior U.S. officials have been communicating continuously with their Israeli counterparts. We will keep supporting Israel’s right to defend itself, and we will keep working for regional stability," Savett said.
