Should we defend Israel, and why?
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.
At least 260 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.”
