US President Joe Biden stated early Thursday that Washington has not offered "Israel" to send American forces in case Hezbollah initiates a war.

"Not true", Biden replied when asked about a report that his aides have told Israeli occupation officials that if Lebanese Resistance group Hezbollah starts a war against "Israel", the US military will join in the confrontation.

Biden's statements were made aboard Air Force One during his return from occupied Palestine and were reported by Fox News on its YouTube channel.

In "Tel Aviv", during a meeting with Netanyahu, Biden played along to the Israeli narrative of the massacre in al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, accusing the Palestinian resistance of the bombing. 

“Based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you,” Biden said, adding that the US will continue to make efforts to ensure that "Israel" has everything it needs to “defend” itself.

Israeli media reacted to the US President's statements, saying that Biden has reversed himself and changed his statements made in "Tel Aviv" regarding support for "Israel".

Earlier, Israeli media reported that Hezbollah's missile capability equals the strength of several European countries combined.

Axios revealed that Biden was concerned during his meeting with Israeli officials about the possibility of Hezbollah joining the confrontation.

The news website also disclosed that Biden pressured officials about their comprehensive strategy in Gaza, namely "Israel's" post-ground invasion plan.

Days ago, Israeli media reported that former Israeli Security Minister Benny Gantz told Biden that efforts to dismantle Hamas may take several years.

Earlier, Israeli media reported that Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Hezbollah possesses capabilities ten times greater than those of Hamas.

Israeli Kan channel's political affairs correspondent, Michael Shemesh, said that Gallant participated today in a discussion related to emergency preparedness, and spoke with the participants about the possibility of an additional front in the north.

According to Shemesh, Gallant stressed the need for "Israel" to be prepared for the possibility of a front in the north.

A few days ago, Gallant admitted that waging a war on the northern front was not in "Israel's" interest, as per Reuters.

Furthermore, Israeli media confirmed that the concern about Hezbollah does not stem from anti-tank missiles but rather from precise and heavy weaponry that threatens "Israel's" strategic infrastructure.
