As the exchange of attacks continues between Israel and the Lebanese Shiite Islamic group Hezbollah, US President Biden has warned that an all-out war could break out in the Middle East.
Appearing on an ABC TV program, he warned of the "possibility of all-out war" in the Middle East following the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. He went on to state that ``there is still a chance to achieve peace that will fundamentally change the entire region,'' including the Gaza Strip, and emphasized that Japan would do its best to make diplomatic efforts.
"The United States absolutely does not want the situation to escalate in the Middle East. The United States military is not involved in Israeli operations in Lebanon," said Pentagon Deputy Spokesman Shin.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday walked back from a private understanding with the Biden administration and distanced himself from the proposal for 21-day ceasefire in Lebanon presented by the U.S., France and other allies.
Why it matters: U.S. officials said Netanyahu and his close confidants were directly involved in the formulation of the temporary ceasefire.
The prime minister's change, which comes after public threats by far-right ministers in his government and attacks by Israeli opposition leaders, could increase tensions with the Biden administration.
The big picture: The fighting continued on Thursday with Hezbollah launching more than 100 rockets and drones toward targets in Israel.

A missing man who is believed to have been involved in the sale of pagers used by Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Middle East, has been placed on an international wanted list following the explosion of pagers used by Hezbollah.
On the 27th, Norwegian police revealed to ANN that they had received a missing person's report for Mr. Rinson Jose, an Indian-Norwegian national, and that he had been placed on an international wanted list.
Mr. Jose is the owner of a company based in Bulgaria, Eastern Europe, which is believed to have been involved in the pager transaction that exploded in Lebanon on the 17th of this month.
According to officials, Mr. Jose has been missing since the 18th, when he left for the United States on a business trip.
Regarding the exploding pager, it was pointed out that the Taiwanese manufacturer "Gold Apollo" was the manufacturer, but Gold Apollo's chairman explained that it was manufactured by BAC Consulting in Eastern Europe, Hungary, which is allowed to use the trademark.
Bulgarian media reported that BAC Consulting received a remittance of 1.6 million euros (= over 250 million yen in Japanese yen) from Mr. Jose's company.
Hungarian media reports that Jose's company sold pagers to Hezbollah.
A Lebanese security official told Reuters, ``Israeli intelligence agencies have modified 5,000 pagers ordered by Hezbollah several months ago and installed explosives on the circuit board that can receive a code and react.''
