US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demonstrated unity in their meeting in Israel this morning. Biden said the US supports Israel with everything the country needs to defend itself against Hamas.
Netanyahu called on the Western world to work together to defeat the Palestinian Islamic organization Hamas. The massacre in Israel on October 7th proves that the organization embodies “pure evil”. Netanyahu again compared Hamas, which is also classified as a terrorist organization by the EU and the US, to the Nazis and the Islamic State (IS) terrorist network.

Hamas committed the worst crimes in Israel, Netanyahu said. Women were raped, soldiers were beheaded and children were murdered. “Imagine the fear and panic of these children in their final moments, when they were found in their hiding places by these monsters,” said the Israeli leader.
Biden was the first US president in history to come to Israel in time of war. “This is deeply moving,” Netanyahu said. This proves how personally committed Biden is to the Jewish people and the Jewish state. “Thank you, Mr. President, for standing with Israel, today, tomorrow and always.”
