President Biden?—?if you feel like pretending Biden is still serving as president and still making the decisions in the White House?—?has pledged to support Israel against any retaliations for its recent assassination spree in Iran and Lebanon which killed high-profile officials from Hamas and Hezbollah.

A White House statement asserts that Biden spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday and "reaffirmed his commitment to Israel's security against all threats from Iran, including its proxy terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis," and "discussed efforts to support Israel's defense against threats, including against ballistic missiles and drones, to include new defensive U.S. military deployments."

Hilariously, the statement also claims that "the President stressed the importance of ongoing efforts to de-escalate broader tensions in the region." 

Yep, nothing emphasizes the importance of de-escalating broader tensions in the region like pledging unconditional military support for the region's single most belligerent actor no matter how reckless and insane its aggressions become.
