Joe Biden, the President of the United States of America, has promised Israel of his support following an attack on Saturday by the Palestinian group Hamas.
On Saturday evening, he made this known while offering his views on the attack via his X handle.
Biden wrote, “In this moment of tragedy, I want to say that the United States stands with Israel, we will not ever fail to have her back. We’ll make sure that they have the help that her citizens need and they can continue to defend themselves.
“The world has seen appalling images, thousands of rockets in the space of hours raining down on Israeli cities killing not only the soldiers but Israeli civilians in the streets, in their homes. Innocent people were murdered, wounded, and entire families taken hostage by Hamas.
“The United States stands with the people of Israel in the face of this terrorist assault.
“Israel has the right to defend itself and its people. There is never a justification for terrorist attacks.”
