2023-10-17 McCaul Preparing Authorization of Military Force If Gaza War Escalates Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told CNN on Monday that he was drawing up an authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) against Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups in the region if the Gaza war escalates. “I hope I never have to mark this bill up. But we have a situation in the Middle East that’s growing day by day with intensity and if Hezbollah gets involved, Iran has already threatened if Gaza is, you know, if Israel goes, you know, if IDF (Israel Defense Forces) goes into Gaza that they’re gonna come out,” McCaul said. https://www.activistpost.com/2023/10/mccaul-preparing-authorization-of-military-force-if-gaza-war-escalates.html
2023-10-17 WAR ALERT: U.S. Sends 2,000 Marines & Sailors To Israel The United States is once again helping to expand the war in the Middle East. The U.S. has decided to send 2,000 Marines to Israel to “support” the warring faction of the Jewish state. This “show of force” will do little more than inflame the tensions already present and could push the war to another level.
The Pentagon has sent 2,000 Marines and sailors to waters off Israel’s coast as part of a “show of force” in the region, CNN has reported, citing unnamed US officials. The move comes amid fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants, which has claimed thousands of lives this month. The naval deployments are reportedly meant to “send a message of deterrence to Iran and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah,” and some of the U.S. warships have recently patrolled waters near the Islamic Republic. https://www.activistpost.com/2023/10/war-alert-u-s-sends-2000-marines-sailors-to-israel.html
