Biden-Harris upset that Israel killed terrorist leader?
...
Tensions between the Biden-Harris administration and the Israeli government have intensified following Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in late September. According to reports from The Wall Street Journal, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was furious after Israeli forces carried out the airstrike that k*lled Nasrallah on September 28 without informing the United States in advance. This lack of coordination surprised U.S. officials and left Austin deeply frustrated.
Israeli forces conducted a series of airstrikes targeting a compound where Nasrallah was hiding, ultimately destroying the facility and k*lling the Hezbollah chief. However, U.S. officials were only notified of the operation after the fact, which raised concerns about the lack of communication between the two allies.
Austin’s anger was reportedly evident when he spoke with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. “Excuse me, what did you say?” Austin reportedly asked Gallant over the phone after learning about Nasrallah’s death. Later, during a second call, Austin inquired whether Israel was prepared to act “alone” in defending itself, signaling the U.S. administration’s frustration over the lack of prior coordination.
Austin’s ire stemmed from the concern that Israel had not given the U.S. enough time to prepare its assets in the Middle East for potential Iranian or terror group counterattacks. The absence of advanced notice was seen as problematic, as it hindered U.S. ability to position its military resources effectively.

The US should be pleased that Israel took out a terrorist leader. The US should already be prepared for attack from Iran which is run by anti-American religious kooks. The current Ianian leaders are already overtly hostile to the US.
