US officials are engaged in talks with allies to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, according to White House principal deputy national security adviser Jon Finer. The Biden administration is working in real time in New York and other capitals around the world to find a resolution to the escalating conflict. While the details of these conversations are not being revealed, the US is committed to de-escalating the conflict. Finer emphasized that a large-scale war is not in the interest of either Israel or Lebanon.
