According to  Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova, Washington's transfer of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Normandy, and numerous destroyers increase the risk that things will escalate in the current situation in Palestine.

During a briefing on Tuesday, Zakharova expressed that "all this really raises suspicions that the situation is developing along the path of escalation and the risk of involving third countries in this conflict."

She explained that this comes with "long-term and very serious consequences" for the countries involved and for the global community.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revealed on Sunday, a day after the Palestinian Resistance initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Floods, that the Pentagon is moving ships and aircraft closer to the shores of occupied Palestine in support of "Israel".

According to a news release issued on Sunday, Austin ordered the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, the Ticonderoga-class cruiser USS Normandy, and numerous destroyers to sail to the Eastern Mediterranean.

Austin stated in the news release that in addition to Navy assets, he has made efforts to strengthen US Air Force F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the area.

Following the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood that the Palestinian Resistance launched on Saturday against continuous Israeli occupation violations, the White House has moved quickly to affirm US backing for "Israel", vowing "rock solid" support and warning other parties to stay out of the confrontation.

NYC demonstration in support of Gaza, rejection of US aid to 'Israel'

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered Monday in the heart of Manhattan, denouncing the Israeli occupation government and demanding that the United States stop supporting its ally, amid an ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.

People of all ages stood outside the Israeli consulate general waving Palestinian flags. Young activists wearing Palestinian keffiyeh headscarves took turns at a megaphone to demand a "free Palestine" and "an end of the colonization and occupation of our Arab land."

The IOF has already killed over 700 Palestinians in Gaza within the last 48 hours and targeted journalists covering its aggression on Gaza.
