President Joe Biden will deliver remarks from the White House on Tuesday afternoon following an unprecedented attack from Hamas on Israel, according to a White House official. Biden's remarks, scheduled for 1 p.m. ET, come days after Hamas fighters raided southern parts of the country, killing hundreds and taking hostages in a quickly evolving war.
' NBC News reported earlier that the Biden administration is sending ships from the Navy’s USS Gerald Ford Carrier Strike Group to the eastern Mediterranean Sea in support of Israel. The effort is also meant to serve as a clear message to Iran to “stand down,” according to a U.S. official, who said the U.S. also plans to keep in place some F-16 and A-10 fighter jets.
