Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US is considering Israeli requests for additional military aid after the sweeping attack by Hamas militants.
Blinken cited a memorandum of understanding signed under former President Barack Obama to provide Israel with $3.8 billion a year in US military assistance.
“We are looking at specific additional requests that the Israelis have made,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “I think you’re likely to hear more about that later today.”
President Joe Biden said Saturday he made it clear to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US is ready “to offer all appropriate means of support” to Israel’s government and its people.
