<p>The United States is sending additional troops to the Middle East given escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah, the Pentagon said on Monday, declining to specify the precise number or mission of the deployed forces.</p>

<p>"Out of an abundance of caution, we are sending a small number of additional US military personnel forward to augment our forces that are already in the region," Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesperson, told reporters.</p>

<p>After almost a year of war against Hamas in Gaza, Israel is shifting its focus to its northern frontier, where Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel in support of its ally Hamas.</p>

<p>Israel's military on Monday struck Hezbollah in Lebanon's south, eastern Bekaa valley and northern region near Syria in its most widespread strikes. An Israeli strike on Monday evening on the southern suburbs of Lebanon's capital targeted senior Hezbollah leader Ali Karaki, the head of the southern front, a security source told Reuters.</p>

<p>US President Joe Biden's administration has been seeking to contain the conflict to Gaza and has repeatedly called for the Israel-Lebanon border crisis to be resolved through diplomacy. That call for diplomacy has been underscored by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin&nbsp;in daily calls with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.</p>

<p>"The Secretary made clear that the United States remains postured to protect US forces and personnel and determined to deter any regional actors from exploiting the situation or expanding the conflict," the Pentagon said in a statement.</p>

<p>Ryder referred to Iran's attack by more than 300 missiles and drones, which caused only modest damage inside Israel thanks to air defence interceptions from the United States, Britain and other allies in the region. The April 14 strikes were Iran's first-ever direct attack on Israel.</p>

US sends additional forces to Middle East as Israel-Hezbollah conflict escalates

<p>US President Joe Biden welcomed the president of the United Arab Emirates to the White House on Monday, saying the two leaders would discuss ways to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Lebanon, and efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.</p>

<p>Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will meet separately with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the first in what is expected to be a series of foreign leader gatherings during the week of the United Nations General Assembly.</p>

<p>Biden, speaking at the start of his meeting with the UAE leader, said Lebanon and Gaza would feature prominently in their discussions, along with talks on artificial intelligence.</p>

<p>Before their meeting, Biden said he had been briefed on the latest developments between Israel and Lebanon, adding, "I continue to be in contact with our counterparts, and we're working to de-escalate in a way that allows people to return home safely."</p>

<p>Sheikh Mohamed said his country had an "unwavering commitment" to working with the United States and deepening the strategic partnership between the allies.</p>

<p>The meeting will give Harris, the Democratic nominee for the Nov. 5 presidential election, an opportunity to demonstrate national security chops at a time when the administration is under increasing pressure to contain strife in the Middle East.</p>

<p>Israel attacked hundreds of Hezbollah targets on Monday in airstrikes that Lebanese health authorities said killed at least 274 people, making it the deadliest day in Lebanon in decades and ramping up nearly a year of conflict with its Iran-backed enemy.</p>

<p>Australia expects to wrap up an agreement with the United States over critical minerals before the end of the year, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Friday, according to a report by Bloomberg.</p>

<p>Critical minerals and their supply chain will become vital to global growth from here onward, Albanese said, addressing reporters in Philadelphia on Friday after a meeting with US President Joe Biden.</p>

<p>“As we move forward and we look at the drivers of global growth in this century, Australia has the entire periodic table basically of what will be needed,” he said. “That presents an opportunity not just to get access to those resources, but how value is added to it and the supply chain issues that are related to that.”</p>

<p>He and Biden “had a really good discussion about progressing that and we are hopeful that that will be finalised by the end of this year,” Albanese said.</p>

<p>Over a year ago, the two nations started discussing the Australia-US Climate, Critical Minerals, and Clean Energy Transformation Compact. The collaboration seeks to ensure a stable and sustainable supply of a range of rare earth minerals used in high technology at a time when China dominates the market and controls about 70 per cent of global output.</p>

<p>Albanese said he and Biden discussed how they can cooperate in developing critical minerals and also “the potential that’s there as well for further work to involve other nations like Canada and other like-minded countries to achieve our objectives.”</p>

<p>Albanese was speaking ahead of a meeting with the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, which also includes India and Japan. His comments were reported by ABC News.</p>
