US President Joe Biden has said Israel has a right and a duty to respond to Hamas’ attacks over the weekend, which he called an "act of sheer evil".
Biden said the US would "stand with Israel" and provide whatever assistance it needed, in a statement at the White House.
Some 1,200 people have died in Israel since Saturday, and more than 900 people have died in retaliatory Israeli air strikes on Gaza.
