The Biden administration leaked details of Israel’s ground operation in southern Lebanon in a bid to pressure Jerusalem into limiting the scope and duration of the incursion, a senior Israeli official has claimed.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official told Israel’s Kan News Tuesday morning that while the U.S. has given its blessing for a limited ground operation in southern Lebanon to root out Hezbollah forces and to secure Israel’s northern border, the Biden administration is pressuring Israel to “limit” the operation.
According to the official, the White House leaked information regarding the operation itself, a “dangerous” move which he said endangered Israeli troops.
“We didn’t like that. It’s clear to us that the U.S. is concerned — which is why they have ‘tricks’ to try and limit this matter,” the official said.
