US President Joe Biden has ordered additional support for Israel in response to the recent attacks by Palestinian militant group Hamas, according to a statement from the White House. While no specific details were provided, the President's decision comes in the wake of ongoing high-level discussions between US and Israeli officials regarding military aid. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed on the situation in Israel and will continue to receive updates, with the White House officials remaining in contact with counterparts throughout the region.

The President has already expressed unwavering support for Israel, a key ally in the Middle East, following the surprise attacks by Hamas that tragically claimed the lives of over 600 Israelis. Palestinian officials have reported at least 370 deaths in Israeli air strikes on Gaza. The White House's commitment to supporting Israel during this "unprecedented terrorist assault" demonstrates their dedication to maintaining strong relations in the region.
