Together with this commitment to Israel’s defence, Biden also stressed the importance of ongoing efforts to de-escalate broader tensions in the region.

US Vice President Kamala Harris also joined the call.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army has geared up for any Iranian assault against Israel after the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday.

Sources in the Israeli Defence Minister’s office told IANS that after Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s remarks about a retaliatory attack on Israel to avenge the killing of Haniyeh, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has prepared itself for any eventuality.
