 State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vinod Patel reiterating in a press briefing, previous remarks by President Biden achieving a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas would be key to preventing an expansion of this war, not only into Lebanon, but into other nations as well. He said in his remarks that a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza will accelerate the possibility of progress, including lasting security among Israel's northern border with Lebanon. And so that's something we're going to continue to work towards.
