Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant says Israel will continue to attack Hezbollah positions even if a truce is reached in Gaza, but the State Department’s Miller says Washington is working to resolve the Lebanon-Israel crisis diplomatically.
“We do not want to see either side escalate the conflict in the north [of Israel],” Miller told reporters.
“And in fact, we’re going to continue to pursue a diplomatic resolution of that conflict. And while we saw the defense minister’s comments, we have also taken note that repeatedly the defense minister and other officials of the government of Israel, including the prime minister, have said publicly that they would prefer the situation to be resolved diplomatically.”
