Original Note:
The U.S. claims to approve funds for Lebanon due to civilian casualties, but this is misleading. The Biden administration has provided $8.7B in military aid to Israel, responsible for the bombardment causing these casualties, despite international calls for a ceasefire. https://www.npr.org/2024/10/01/nx-s1-5133419/u-s-appears-to-support-israels-attacks-in-lebanon-while-calling-for-diplomacy https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20240925-%F0%9F%94%B4-live-france-us-propose-21-day-lebanon-ceasefire-to-allow-for-talks
