US Deploys Military Assets Near Israel in Solidarity Amid Escalating Conflict
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has announced that the United States will deploy multiple military ships and aircraft closer to Israel. This move comes in response to the recent surge in violence in the region, with Washington suspecting that Hamas’ deadly attacks were aimed at disrupting potential normalization of ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Over the weekend, Hamas fighters launched attacks in Israeli towns, resulting in one of the bloodiest days in decades for the country. Israel responded with airstrikes in Gaza, leading to a tragic loss of life on both sides. The escalating violence raises concerns about the possibility of a major conflict in the Middle East.

CNN reported on Sunday that at least three Americans were among the casualties. In response, Secretary Austin ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, consisting of an aircraft carrier, a guided missile cruiser, and four guided missile destroyers, to be moved to the Eastern Mediterranean closer to Israel.

Additionally, the United States has increased the presence of U.S. Air Force fighter aircraft squadrons in the region, including F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 aircraft, and has pledged to provide munitions to Israel.

President Joe Biden assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of additional assistance for the Israeli Defense Forces, with more aid planned in the days ahead. Vice President Kamala Harris also held discussions with Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

The Pentagon later confirmed that Secretary Austin had spoken with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, offering support and updates on U.S. actions. The United States reiterated its unwavering support for Israel’s right to self-defense and emphasized that these actions were aimed at strengthening the U.S. military presence in the region to enhance deterrence efforts.

Despite these developments, a small number of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in New York City’s Times Square and near the White House in Washington, expressing their opposition to the U.S. support of Israel. Some demonstrators carried banners calling for an end to U.S. aid and asserting that “resistance is not terrorism.” New York Governor Kathy Hochul had previously condemned these protests, describing them as “morally repugnant.”

The recent attack by Hamas on Saturday represents the most significant and deadliest incursion into Israel since the Yom Kippur War 50 years ago, when Egypt and Syria launched a sudden assault in an attempt to reclaim lost territory.
