Israel is preparing for a ground assault in Gaza following Hamas's attack on Saturday. Follow our live coverage.
President Biden's national security adviser said that Iran is 'complicit' in Hamas's onslaught in Israel on Saturday. 'They have provided the lion's share of the funding for the military wing of Hamas. They provide training, they have provided capabilities, they have provided support, and they have had engagement in contact with Hamas over the years and years,' Jake Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday in the White House briefing room.
'All of that has played a role in contributing to what we have seen now.' As to the question of whether Iran knew about this attack in advance or helped plan or direct this attack, Sullivan said: 'We do not as of the moment...have confirmation of that.' The Wall Street Journal has reported that Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel. Sullivan also said the U.S. didn't have intelligence predicting the terrorist attack.
