President Biden delivers remarks on Hamas attack on Israel

Описание: President Joe Biden during a Tuesday speech about the four-day-old war between Israel and Hamas to condemn the militant group for a shocking multipronged attack on Israel launched from the Gaza Strip that has killed hundreds of civilians, including at least 14 American citizens.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke by phone earlier on Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the situation on the ground. The president also spoke on the actions he and other allies have taken to support Israel in the aftermath of the attack.

He also addressed the brutality and "pure unadulterated evil" of the militants toward Israelis who were captured by Hamas in the operation, including rape and torture, the official said.

"This is terrorism," Biden stated and added that sadly for the Jewish people, this is not new.

"We stand with Israel," the president said Tuesday.

Biden, in his public remarks and statements since Hamas launched its attacks, has repeatedly emphasized his shock over the breadth and brutality of the Hamas assault — a blitz by land, sea and air that surprised Israeli and U.S. intelligence and that has killed hundreds Israelis and left even more wounded.
