Washington is ready to help Israel if Iran wants to avenge the killing of Haniyeh, but new steps towards escalation in the region will be a reason to stop supporting it.
Biden made this warning during a conversation with Netanyahu, the publication reports.
Washington expects the situation in the Middle East to remain under control. But everything depends on Israel's further actions, analysts conclude.
