The president of the USA Joe Biden “has been briefed” by national security advisers on the “terrorist attack by Hamas” against Israel and continues to monitor the situation, the White House said in a brief statement.

The Israela country with which the United States is very closely allied, and the Gaza Strip were again at war today after Hamas launched a surprise military offensive, with thousands of rockets fired into Israeli territory, infiltrating its fighters and Israelis to have been captured.

The USA condemn Hamas attacks and support Israel’s right to defend itself, the US Secretary of State said earlier Anthony Blinken as well as US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

“There is never any excuse for terrorism. We stand in solidarity with the government and people of Israel and express our condolences for the Israeli lives lost in these attacks,” Blinken said in a statement released by State Department.

“We will remain in close contact with our Israeli partners. The United States they support Israel’s right to defend itself,” Blinken said.

“Over the next few days, the Department of Defense will work to ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself and protect civilians from indiscriminate violence and terrorism,” Austin said.
