“President Biden directed the US military to aid Israel’s defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel,” read a statement from the White House. Additionally, the White House announced that Biden’s previously scheduled call with rabbis ahead of the Jewish high holiday season has been postponed.
