President Joe Biden has consulted with a trio of world leaders and his own national security team amid growing global concern that the Israel-Hamas war could metastasize into a broader global conflict
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, right, listens as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant speaks at The Kirya, Israel's Ministry of Defense, Monday, Oct. 16, 2023, in Tel Aviv. consulted with a trio of world leaders and his own national security team on Monday amid growing global concern about the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the Gaza Strip and fears that the Israel-Hamas war could metastasize into a broader regional conflict.
The president is considering traveling to Israel this week in a show of solidarity with the close U.S. ally in the aftermath of the most lethal assault against Jews since the Holocaust, according to a senior administration official. The official, who was not authorized to comment about the president's potential visit, said a final decision to visit Israel hasn't been made.
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister warned Monday that “preemptive action is possible” if Israel moves closer to its looming ground offensive in the Gaza Strip. White House officials have said that U.S. intelligence shows that Iran has been broadly aware that Hamas had been preparing for a possible strike against Israel. But the U.S. says it has yet to uncover evidence of direct Iranian involvement in the Oct. 7 attack.
The sirens signaling incoming rocket fire, followed by the loud booms of Iran Dome air defenses intercepting rockets, underscored an often-daily reality for Israelis, particularly since Gaza-based Hamas began massive assaults on Israel on Oct. 7. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who just returned from a weekend trip to Israel, said Monday that he hopes Congress will move quickly to aid Israel. He said he met with grieving families during his visit, along with top Israeli officials, and is “shaken by anger and fear.”
