The Manila Times

Biden says wider Mideast war 'has to be avoided'  US President Joe Biden says that a regional conflict in the Middle East "has to be avoided," as fresh Israeli strikes killed nearly 50 in Lebanon and hit targets in Gaza and as far afield as Yemen. Biden also says he will be speaking to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and calls the casualties from Hurricane Helene, which hit the southeastern US, "tragic."
