TL;DR Summary

The Biden administration is working to fulfill Israel's urgent request for weapons transfer following a wave of attacks by Hamas militants. The specific weapons systems requested have not been disclosed for operational security reasons. The transfers may be part of a new assistance package for Israel, which Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned would be announced later. President Biden has directed additional support for Israel in the face of the ongoing conflict, and one option being considered is the release of a stockpile of American ammunition stored in Israel. The administration does not anticipate any impact on military assistance to Ukraine, as the two countries use different defense systems.
