Washington (AFP) - The United States is pressing Israel to avoid a major war against Lebanon's Hezbollah, with top American officials urging a diplomatic solution in order to prevent another Middle East crisis. Israeli forces and Iran-backed Hezbollah are exchanging fire on a near-daily basis, and the Israeli army said last week that plans for an offensive in Lebanon were "approved and validated." Washington is working to lower the temperature, but those efforts -- which come on top of disagreements between the administrations of US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netan...

It was September 1983, and a young senator named Joe Biden had a message for President Ronald Reagan. "I would not support any authorization for troops in Lebanon of any duration absent much more clearly defined goals and a reasonable prospect of attaining those goals," Biden said, commenting on a proposed congressional war powers resolution. U.S. Marines had been deployed to Lebanon as part of peacekeeping mission in the wake of an Israeli invasion aimed at destroying Palestinian militias, and Congress was debating whether to continue the mission. A month after Biden's warning, a truck bomb k...

"Another war between Israel and Hezbollah could easily become a regional war, with terrible consequences for the Middle East," Austin said. "Diplomacy is by far the best way to prevent mor...

The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has meant Israelis are less able or unwilling to travel internationally. This drop in numbers is being felt in Georgia which usually welcomes many visitors from Israel. "The loss is noticeable. The situation in the region has affected the number of tourists from Israel," says Levan Giorgadze from Tbilisi Free Walking Tours. "Compared to previous years, the number of tourists from Israel has decreased noticeably. I wouldn't say that they don't come at all anymore...

Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that the military must begin drafting ultra-Orthodox men for compulsory service — a decision that could impact Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition as Israel continues its conflict in Gaza. The court's unanimous ruling ends the longstanding exemptions granted to ultra-Orthodox men from serving in the armed forces, which have been a point of contention in Israel. The ruling follows the court striking down a law in 2017 that allowed these exemptions, with repeated delays from the government prolonging the issue. The court stated that in the absence of sp...

Una empresa que perforaba en busca de gas natural frente a las costas del norte de Israel descubrió inesperadamente un barco de 3.300 años de antigüedad y su carga, uno de los ejemplos más antiguos conocidos de un barco navegando lejos de tierra. El barco, que data de finales de la Edad de Bronce, fue hallado lejos de la costa, lo que indica que la capacidad de navegación de los antiguos marinos era mucho más avanzada de lo que se pensaba, ya que podían viajar sin línea de visión a tierra, según ha declarado la Autoridad de Antigüedades de Israel (IAA). Sorprendentemente, la gran profundidad a...

Israeli officials have described Rafah as the last Hamas stronghold in the Gaza Strip, and in earl...
