White House: Military escalation not in Israel's 'best interest'

A regional military escalation is not in Israel's "best interest," White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Sunday, as heightening cross-border tensions between Israel and Lebanon have led to fears of an all-out war.

"We don't believe that escalating this military conflict is in their best interest," Kirby said on ABC's "This Week," adding that the United States was "saying this directly to our Israeli counterparts."
