Lloyd Austin on Israel’s Strike in Lebanon: ‘The Best Solution Going Forward Is a Diplomatic Solution’

RUSH EXCERPT:

AUSTIN: "Well Wolf, the prime minister has been clear that his goal is to get Israeli civilians who have been displaced from their homes in the north back to their homes as soon as possible. I believe, we believe the best way to do that is through diplomacy. And that‘s why you‘ve seen President Biden lead the effort to get a ceasefire, a 21-day ceasefire so that diplomacy can take place. So we would hope that we don‘t see a ground incursion because if that happens, there is a chance that the conflict could broaden into what could be a regional conflict. So again, we think the best solution going forward is a diplomatic solution."
