Leaders of Egypt and Jordan and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called off a planned summit with President Joe Biden.
“Don’t,” he said, warning Iran as well as the U.S.-designated terror group Hezbollah that runs Lebanon and any others from intensifying the crisis by escalating their involvement.
But perhaps most effective of all, experts say, is the single word Biden continues to repeat: Don’t.
“When the president says, ‘Don't,’ and then moves an aircraft carrier, that looks good.
Middle East analysts go back to the point that Hezbollah and Iran likely don’t want to escalate the war either.
