The United States has said that Hamas attacks on Israel may be aimed at sabotaging efforts to restore relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Hamas attacked Israel early on Saturday morning by sea, land and air, in which more than 600 Israelis have been killed and more than 2,000 injured.
In response to this attack, Israel also carried out air strikes in Gaza, which have killed 370 people so far.
Speaking to CNN on Sunday, Anthony Blanken said it would not be surprising if the move would be aimed at preventing Israel and Saudi Arabia from reuniting, as well as deterring countries that might potentially restore relations with Israel. want to do
Blanken added that the US has also taken note of reports of several Americans dead and missing in Israel, and Washington is still verifying the details and figures.
The foreign minister termed this action as a terrorist attack by a terrorist organization and said that the details of the new US aid to Israel would be revealed later.
“We are looking at the requests made by the Israelis and I think you will hear more regarding that later today,” the US secretary of state added.
Antony Blanken added that there was relative peace in most of Israel on Sunday, but there was heavy fighting in Gaza, where Palestinian youths have held several protests in the area in recent times.
He added that the US has not yet found any evidence that Iran was behind the attack in Israel, but we have seen the long-standing relationship between Iran and Hamas, which rules Gaza.
Saturday morning’s attack by Hamas is the biggest ever in Israel since the operation by Egypt and Syria 50 years ago.
Egypt and Syria launched the Yom Kippur War 50 years ago, attacking Israel in an attempt to regain the lost territory of Palestine.
