Video: “What we’re seeing is a U.S. green light for Israel to continue attacks.”

Israel has unilaterally violated its ceasefire with Hezbollah with its ongoing attacks on the southern suburbs of Beirut, Phyllis Bennis tells Al Jazeera. Phyllis says the United States and France are supposed to be the guarantors of the ceasefire, which was signed last November, but “what we’re actually is seeing a U.S. green light for Israel to continue,” she concludes.

Phyllis put the strikes in the context of Israel’s renewed assaults on Gaza and the West Bank and its “expansionism” in the Syrian Golan Heights, which she says “the U.S. administration under Trump is allowing to go forward.”
