Biden prepared to supply ‘all means of appropriate support’ to Israel following Hamas assaults

President Biden condemned the assaults in Israel in a name with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, saying that the U.S. is able to present “all appropriate means of support” to the nation. 

Israel was thrust into chaos early Saturday when the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a collection of assaults towards the nation, leaving dozens useless and tons of wounded. The assaults prompted Mr. Netanyahu to declare conflict on the militant group. 

“This morning, I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu about the horrific and ongoing attacks in Israel.  The United States unequivocally condemns this appalling assault against Israel by Hamas terrorists from Gaza, and I made clear to Prime Minister Netanyahu that we stand ready to offer all appropriate means of support to the Government and people of Israel,” Mr. Biden stated. “Terrorism is never justified. Israel has a right to defend itself and its people. The United States warns against any other party hostile to Israel seeking advantage in this situation. My Administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering.”

The Biden administration’s messaging on the assault seems to have modified all through the morning.

National Security Advisor to Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz Omri Ceren shared a now-deleted submit on X, previously Twitter, from the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs that urged “all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks.”

“Terror and violence solve nothing,” the deleted submit stated. 

“This is disgraceful and every single person involved in drafting and approving this tweet should be immediately expelled from the U.S. government,” Mr. Cruz stated on X. 

Many conservatives, together with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana, are going after the president for his hostage swap cope with Iran, a identified backer of Hamas. The deal unfroze $6 billion in oil income that had been beneath lock and key by U.S. sanctions. 

A stipulation of Mr. Biden’s deal was that the cash be used for humanitarian help, however critics say that the funding has gone to spice up the militant group.
