CEASEFIRE: WASHINGTON UNABLE TO REIN IN ALLY AMID FEARS OF WIDER MIDEAST CONFLICT. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken again calls for all sides to choose diplomacy.
Israel defies nervous Biden

Despite US calls to avert a ground offensive in Lebanon, Israel has begun "targeted" raids on the country - more proof that Washington has been unable to rein in its ally, amid fears of a wider Middle East conflict.

The US president indicated on Monday that he was opposed to Israeli ground operations in Lebanon, calling for a ceasefire as tensions spiralled after the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

"I'm more aware than you might know and I'm comfortable with them stopping. We should have a ceasefire now," Biden said when asked if he was aware of Israeli plans for a limited operation on Lebanese soil.
