He stresses the US commitment to Israel’s security, saying “children the same age as my daughters” went to bed with the fear of rockets “because of who they are and where they live.”

When he mentions Iron Dome, the crowd gives him a round of applause. The crowd is very much with Obama, and he’s getting applause every few sentences.

He mentions the five Israelis killed by terrorists in Bulgaria, and says Hezbollah should be called “what it truly is — a terrorist organization.”

He promises close cooperation regarding the transfer of chemical weapons from Syria to Hezbollah. He says the world is watching and “will hold you accountable.”
