TL;DR Summary
NATO defense ministers have pledged to send arms to Israel to combat Hamas, with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin defending Israel's use of American arms. However, concerns have been raised about the proportionality of Israel's response and the potential for Iran and Hezbollah to exploit the situation. While some countries emphasize the need to protect civilians and respect international law, the main purpose of the meeting was to show support for Israel. Germany has pledged to let Israel use two Heron drones, and the US is prioritizing resupplying Israel with Iron Dome munitions and air defense systems.
