US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has denied claims that the US had prior knowledge of the attack involving Hezbollah, stating, “The US was neither aware nor involved in these events.” Speaking during a joint press conference in Cairo with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdellaty, Blinken emphasized that the US is still gathering facts about the incident. He also reiterated the US stance on urging all parties to avoid actions that could escalate the ongoing conflict, particularly in Gaza. Blinken’s remarks followed his meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi during his official visit to Egypt.
