Biden: Gaza ceasefire could stop Iran attack on Israel
The Philippine Star|August 15, 2024
US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that a ceasefire deal in Gaza could deter Iran from attacking Israel in retaliation for the killing of a Hamas leader that sent regional tensions soaring.
Biden: Gaza ceasefire could stop Iran attack on Israel

Biden’s remarks came after Iran rejected Western calls to “stand down” its threat of reprisals.

The Islamic republic and its allies have blamed Israel for Ismail Haniyeh’s killing on July 31 during a visit to Tehran for the swearing-in of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Israel has not commented.

Iran has vowed to avenge the death, which came hours after an Israeli strike in Beirut killed a senior commander of Hezbollah, the powerful Iran-backed militant group in Lebanon.
