ISRAEL PREFERS DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION WITH LEBANON
June 27, 2024US Spokesperson, Matthew Miller, was probed about his claim that Israel is seeking a ‘diplomatic solution’ on its northern border with Lebanon.
“Is that shared across the Israeli government? Some of the actions, for example, the Prime Minister moving troops to the north… Is that consistent with seeking a diplomatic resolution?”
This comes during the Israeli Minister of Defence, Yoav Gallant’s, visit to the US to discuss the escalation.
Israel provokes, threatens and strikes Lebanon, yet claims it seeks diplomacy. They continue their genocide yet come out and blame others for escalation.
They’re always the victims.

English Script:
Mathew Miller: I will say that the – that Minister Gallant confirmed to the Secretary yesterday that that is Israel’s preferred outcome, that they would prefer a diplomatic resolution to the situation in the north of Israel across the border. And so, we’re going to continue to pursue that because it’s in the interests of all the parties involved, and most importantly, in the interests of the tens of thousands of Israeli and Lebanese families who have been displaced from their homes and want to be able to return home.
Journalist: You said that Gallant indicated that they want a diplomatic resolution. Is that – do you think that’s – is that shared across the Israeli Government? Some of the actions, for example – the prime minister is saying they’re moving troops to the north. I know he couched it as defensive, but is that consistent with we’re seeking a diplomatic resolution?
Mathew Miller: So, there is a – there are a broad spectrum of actors inside the Israeli Government, and I certainly wouldn’t want to speak for all of them. But I can say in all of our meetings with senior government officials, including the prime minister, they have time and time again expressed to us that their preferred resolution is a diplomatic one.
