The United States sent warships and fighter jets to support Israel on Sunday night in a show of strength against Hamas.
Joe Biden deployed the US Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier, six other ships and a number of advanced jets to the Eastern Mediterranean, as Israel’s allies, including the UK, rallied to its defence.
The move raises tensions in the region, with Iranian intelligence officials accused of planning Hamas’s surprise terror attack on Israel that saw 700 killed and more than 100 taken hostage.
Around 250 are feared to have been massacred at a rave in the desert in the south of the country attended by Israelis and foreigners.
In a televised address from the White House, Mr Biden said: “In my administration, support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering
“We’ll make sure that they have the help their citizens need and they can continue to defend themselves.”
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned the attacks as an “act of terror” as he offered British intelligence to help Israel identify Hamas targets.
The Prime Minister told Benjamin Netanyahu that the UK was ready to provide “diplomatic or security support” as he held a call with Germany, France and the US on Sunday to coordinate their response.

Somewhere in his administration, perhaps among a group of three trash collectors in the pentagon.
Are we going to attack Gaza?
Ships are now in operational distance aka strike distance. NORMANDY a Guided Missile Cruiser amongst the 6 plus an unknown number underneath. Sufficient power is there. Plus we have Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine bases in the MED Sea operations area and have had since WW2.
WW3 will help Biden get re-elected.
It won’t take long for that to be reversed. In just a couple weeks as Israel ramps up their military response, and rains down hell on Gaza, the Palestinians will be crying to the western media and cranking out the anti-Israel propaganda. And it will work.
This is just a small message to Iran.
“US sends warships and fighter jets to support Israel”
Considering what the Neocons think of Netanyahu, it’s probably best for him to respectfully request that they leave the region as they’ve made a HUGE MESS of the Middle East already.
Warships and jets won’t work fighting the Hamas when the job will require going door to door.
Are you sure they are there on Israels behalf and not another surprise attack?
How many “flat tops” do you think we have available for deployment to the Mediterranean? battleships? None. The reality is Biden has no intention of doing anything, This “show of force” is just that — a show.
Watch Jake the Snake try to slither out of this one. Have to give Atlantic credit for calling this pinhead out.
Exactly
Thats why I figured Joe would slow walk ships to the area by sending some from far away...
But apparently hes sending ships that are already close to Israel...
I guess they will just sit and watch the slaughter from a safe distance ...
Like outside Athens Greece ...
