Berlin: US President Joe Biden said on Friday that he knows everything about when and how Israel will attack Iran, but he will not give details. Biden’s statement came after the Israeli army killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza on Thursday. He said that Israel has an opportunity to deal with Iran in a way that will potentially end their conflict in the Middle East for some time.
Speaking to reporters at the end of his Berlin visit, Biden said that he has an understanding of how and when Israel is going to retaliate against Iran’s missile attacks. But he refused to elaborate. Let us tell you that on October 1, Tehran attacked Tel Aviv with 180 missiles simultaneously. Now Israel is planning to respond to this missile attack by Iran. In such a situation, tension has increased significantly in the region. Biden said, “There is an opportunity in my view and my colleagues agree that we can possibly deal with Israel and Iran in a way that ends the conflict for a period of time. It ends the conflict, in other words, it stops this back and forth.”
Work will have to be done on a ceasefire in Lebanon
Biden said he believed there was a possibility of working toward a ceasefire in Lebanon, but such efforts would be difficult in Gaza. The pledge by Israel’s enemies Hamas and Hezbollah to continue fighting Israel in Gaza and Lebanon dashed hopes on Friday that the death of Palestinian militant leader Yahya Sinwar could end the war that has been raging in the Middle East for more than a year.
