**WASHINGTON, D.C.** – In a statement released today, President Biden hailed the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a measure of justice for the hundreds of Americans killed by the terrorist group during its four-decade reign of terror. Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike, a strike that President Biden said took place in the context of the ongoing conflict that began with Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7th.

Nasrallah, according to President Biden, made the “fateful decision” to join forces with Hamas the day after the initial attack, opening a “northern front” against Israel. The President affirmed the United States’ full support for Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, and other Iranian-backed terrorist groups. He also announced that he has directed the Secretary of Defense to bolster the U.S. military presence in the Middle East to deter aggression and prevent a wider regional war.

Despite the ongoing conflict, President Biden emphasized the administration’s commitment to finding diplomatic solutions in both Gaza and Lebanon. Negotiations are underway for a UN-backed ceasefire in Gaza, as well as a deal for the safe return of hostages and citizens to their homes in Israel and Southern Lebanon.

“It is time for these deals to close, for the threats to Israel to be removed, and for the broader Middle East region to gain greater stability,” President Biden stated.

The White House encourages citizens to stay informed and participate in the administration’s efforts by signing up for text updates.
