  • “Restoring calm along that border remains a top priority for President Biden,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said

WASHINGTON: The White House called Thursday on Israel and Lebanon to put a high priority on restoring calm after new deadly border crossfire and Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah.
