US Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed US support for Israel in a call with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, the State Department said in a statement early Tuesday.
Blinken "reaffirmed our efforts to secure the immediate release of all hostages," the statement said.
Blinken also spoke with French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, reiterating their condemnation of Hamas' attacks on Israel, the department said in a separate statement.
In a statement, Cohen said he thanked Blinken for his unequivocal support for Israel and for his committment to Israel's security.
"The Biden Administration's firm stance at our side at this time proves how strong and indisputable the alliance between Israel and the US is," Cohen wrote on X.
