Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Washington claims to be trying to manage tension and establish a ceasefire, especially in Lebanon, which has practically become the “driving engine” of the war. The fact that Americans talk about the reduction of tension in the official platforms and invite the parties to exercise restraint with what they do in the field and do not hesitate to provide any military, security, economic, political, and diplomatic assistance to the Israeli regime to continue the war is in the open “contradiction.”
