US President Joe Biden has condemned the ‘appalling Hamas attacks’ and reaffirmed that US support for Israel is ‘rock solid’. The statement was made during a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The president was quoted as saying, “Terrorism is never justified. Israel has a right to defend itself and its people”. This strong statement comes in the wake of an assault on Israel by Hamas terrorists from Gaza.
The Biden administration has pledged to ensure that Israel has “what it needs to defend itself” following the surprise attack. This commitment underscores the enduring relationship between the United States and Israel, even as tensions in the region continue to escalate.
