Biden: ‘We will never fail to have Israel’s back’
US President Joe Biden continues to express support for Israel following unprecedented attacks by Palestinian terrorists against Israeli civilians and soldiers on Saturday.
In a multi-front attack, Hamas terrorists infiltrated into at least 22 Israeli locations, killed civilians and soldiers, and took hostages to Gaza, amid barrages of rocket fire.
“This is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage,” said Biden. “My administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock-solid and unwavering.”
“We will never fail to have Israel’s back,” he says in a series of posts on X.
“We will make sure that they have the help their citizens need and they can continue to defend themselves,” he says in a video posted to X.
