US helping Americans get out of Lebanon ahead of potential Israeli strike, White House says

The U.S. is working to get Americans out of Lebanon ahead of a potential Israeli attack, White House press spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday.

The U.S. embassy in Beirut remains open and can help Americans who need emergency passports or other documentation and the U.S. will continue to make airplanes available as long as the Beirut airport remains open, Jean-Pierre said.
