White House national security communications advisor John Kirby has informed that they are preparing for possible attacks on Israel because of the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. US President Joe Biden has communicated with the leaders of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy. The US is planning to end the tensions in the Middle East with their involvement. To the Times of Israel, John Kirby has informed that, “ we share some concerns and expectations that our Israeli counterparts have concerning potential timing here. Could be this week” as written on DC. He also said that they are prepared for a significant set of attacks.
The United States of America is clear on ending the tensions in the Middle East, they also said that they don't want to see any rise in violence and the attack on Israel will be a strong message. This was a joint mission given by all the country leaders from the UK, France, Germany and Italy. According to the joint statement,” We called on Iran to stand down its ongoing threats of a military attack against Israel and discussed the serious consequences for regional security should such an attack take place.”
They also stated that “we expressed our full support of ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions and reach a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza. We endorsed the joint call from President Biden, President Sisi of Egypt and Emir Tamim of Qatar to renew talks later this week with an aim to concluding the deal as soon as possible, and stressed there is no further time to lose, the joint statement read. Besides this, the attack in the Iran and Israel area is still going on. A rocket that was fired on Gaza fell off. Many civilians are being killed in this region. There was an attack on the al-Tabin school in Gaza City, where hundreds of civilians were killed. Besides this, at least 10 were killed in overnight strikes in the Abasan al-Kabira area of eastern Khan Younis, as per the Wafa news agency. At least 40,000 people were killed and 93,000 were wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza.
The USA is not interested in encouraging more rounds of negotiations. Israel is preparing for a strong attack on Iran after their political leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran last month. However Israel did not take any responsibility for Haniyeh’s death, but he was on their list and Israel also threatened to execute him.
