U.S. anger boiled over after Israel rejected a ceasefire and went after Nasrallah, say Israeli officials.
The Biden administration was enraged by a September 2024 Israeli operation to assassinate Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, Israeli officials revealed in an interview with Hebrew-language media on Sunday.
Former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Mike Herzog said in an interview with Channel 13 that Israel was unable to provide advance warning of the strike to Washington, because Biden administration officials ignored calls from their Israeli counterparts.
According to Herzog, the Biden administration was furious that Israel had not quickly agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the U.S., and instead chose to pursue a war against the Hezbollah terror group that including assassinating the terror group’s head commander.
