High-level aid discussions between Washington and Jerusalem were reportedly already underway.
US president Joe Biden recently criticised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for overhauling Israel’s judiciary.
“I told him the United States stands with the people of Israel in the face of these terrorist assaults,” Biden said in a televised address from the White House.“We’ll make sure that they have the help their citizens need and they can continue to defend themselves.” The senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stressed it was “too early to say” whether Iran was “directly involved” in Hamas’ large-scale attack, but that there was “no doubt Hamas is funded, equipped, and armed by Iran and others.”
Trump’s allegations reflected Republican claims that US$6 billion released last month to Iran as part of a prisoner exchange deal was used to fund the Hamas attack.
