Israel-Palestine Conflict: Biden Says US Will Send warships, Weapons To Israel After Hamas Attack
According to White House officials, President Biden told Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu in a call that military assistance is on its way to the country.
Washington DC: Amid the unprecedented armed escalation between Israel and Palestine, resulting in numerous casualties and thousands wounded, the United States declared its unwavering support for Israel and closely monitored the critical situation. On Sunday, the Pentagon announced its decision to provide additional arms support to Israel and position Navy warships closer to the country. This action came in response to a massive invasion by Hamas militants, the largest in 50 years, launched on the previous day.
Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III said he had ordered the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford and five guided-missile cruisers and destroyers, which are already in the Mediterranean Sea, to the eastern part of the sea, near Israel. Officials said the ships were en route but would take a few days to arrive.
