The aircraft carrier Gerald Ford leaves the occupied Palestinian waters
| The USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier, which was sent to help Israel in occupied Palestinian waters, will leave the area in the coming days. |
According to the report of Fars International News Agency, American officials announced that the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford, which entered the eastern Mediterranean Sea a few days after the Israeli attack on Gaza, will leave the region in the coming days.
Gerald Ford is the newest and largest aircraft carrier of the United States, which is about to end its first mission due to the Al-Aqsa storm operation and the start of the Gaza war to help the Zionist regime in the Mediterranean.
In addition, the US Department of Defense has sent 4 other warships to the Eastern Mediterranean for the purpose of deterring the so-called pro-Palestinian forces.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said at that time: These ships are being sent to the region as part of our effort to deter hostile actions against Israel or any attempt to expand this war after Hamas attacked Israel.
He also said: “Increasing the deployment of our forces shows our firm commitment to Israel’s security and our determination to prevent any country or entity that seeks to escalate the war.”
The Pentagon extended Gerald Ford’s mission in the Mediterranean for the third time in December.
A senior American official told ABC News that in ” In the coming days, the carrier and other ships of the fleet will return to their home port in Norfolk, Virginia, as originally planned, to prepare for future deployments.
Previously, the U.S. The SS Eisenhower, which was sent to the Persian Gulf, left this area and is now in the Gulf of Aden.
