An analysis of the US-Israel relationship and the impact of Israel's actions against Hezbollah.

When US president Joe Biden urged Israel not to strike Iran ian nuclear sites this week, it was taken by many in the international community as the latest sign of his administration's diminishing influence over Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government. The US administration has repeatedly warned Israel , since October 7 last year, against a confrontation with Hezbollah , or even worse, an offensive war against Iran .

But after the series of escalating and devastating attacks on Hezbollah, and in Lebanon, in recent weeks, it has become clear that Netanyahu is not interested in listening to its major ally, and Biden was limited to trying to constrain Israel's actions at the margin, rather than control them. Israel's moves against Hezbollah are widely seen to have crippled the terror group. The embattled Israeli prime minister's standing domestically has been lifted by both these successes and the general success of the Iron Dome in repelling a major attack by Iran. saying the administration was 'seeking to align its position with Israel on any response to Iran's attack but also recognises the Middle East is on a 'knife's edge' and a broader escalation could imperil both Israeli and US interests'.The paper reported Campbell had repeated to a virtual event hosted by Washington-based think tank Carnegie Endowment, 'the US view that what Tehran has undertaken was 'deeply irresponsible' and that there must be a 'return message''. 'I think we tried to underscore our support for some of the actions that Israel has taken,' he added. 'We have a real wariness about an extended or substantial ground set of operations in Lebanon'
