The chief of Hezbollah on Friday declared that Israel would soon face defeat through pressure from the U.S. to end its campaign while also promising an “inevitable” response to the attack on an Iranian consulate.

“As Biden begins to hedge on U.S. partners like Israel through his rhetoric, Iranian partners and allies are circling the wagons and limiting the political distance between them,” Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital. “This is an own goal of strategic proportions.”

“The administration risks enabling the Axis of Resistance even further through such rhetoric and actions,” Taleblu added. 

Hezbollah’s secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah on Friday gave a speech in commemoration of Iran’s Quds Day, an international day expressing support for the Palestinian people and calling for an end to the “Israeli occupation.”

“The victories in Israel’s existential fight to eradicate Hamas and any other terror proxy funded by Iran’s regime will be shared by the U.S. as we actively face threats from these same groups both in the region and here at home,” she added. 

“President Biden’s warnings to Bibi are being heard loudest and clearest by our enemies who are relishing in the thought of Israel being abandoned by the U.S. His remarks made the U.S. that much more vulnerable to such attacks,” Daftari concluded. 

Reports in the past few weeks have increasingly highlighted President Biden’s personal unhappiness with Israel’s approach, and this week first lady Jill Biden reportedly urged her husband to end the war in Gaza, telling him to “stop it now.” 

Politico reported that President Biden was “privately enraged” about an airstrike that killed seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen, and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau in response to a Politico story lashed out at the president for refusing to “use leverage to stop the IDF from killing and starving innocent people,” saying reports about his private opposition “only make him look weak.” 

Biden’s rhetoric when discussing the conflict has shifted over the past few months, with some analysts alleging he has done so in response to increasing opposition from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party for his ongoing support of Israel. 

Israel has not made comment on this week’s strike in Syria. Most recently, a retired IDF brigadier-general referred to the attack as an “alleged Israel strike” in commenting on Iran’s potential responses. The Pentagon, however, said in response to a reporter that it would refer to Israel “to speak to their strike.”
