General Michael Kurilla, the commander of CENTCOM, is arriving in Israel for meetings with security leaders. General Kurilla is working to renew the coalition that will defend Israel in the event of an Iranian attack.
The U.S. urged its citizens to leave Lebanon yesterday and is sending additional military assets to the region for defensive and deterrent purposes, Deputy National Security Advisor Jonathan Finer said in an interview with CBS yesterday. Finer also stated that a prisoner exchange and a ceasefire in Gaza are urgent needs, and while there is currently no deal, there should be one. Finer stressed that the US administration has been exerting as much pressure as possible to secure a deal.
Many countries, including the UK, Australia, Sweden, France, Italy, Canada, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, have called on their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately. The UK announced it is sending a team of military personnel, consular staff, and border control officers to Beirut to help British nationals leave Lebanon swiftly.
Two Royal Navy warships are patrolling the eastern Mediterranean off Lebanon, and the Royal Air Force has put transport helicopters on standby.
