The United States could announce a package of military aid for Israel as early as Sunday, media cited a White House official as saying. Talks about support following Hamas attacks are "very much underway" but their execution could be delayed due to the uncertainties regarding Republican leadership in the House of Representatives.
The official said it is currently "too early to say" whether Iran was involved in the attacks. "We don’t have anything to indicate Iran was involved in the specifics of what is unfolding now. But in terms of Iran’s full support for Hamas, Hamas would not exist without that support over many, many years and decades and that is why we continue to hold Iran accountable for its support for terrorist groups, whether Hamas or Lebanese Hezbollah," the official said.
