Biden Reiterates his old saying: If there was no Israel, we would work to establish it
US President Joe Biden said - today, Wednesday - during his "solidarity" visit to Tel Aviv that Israel must return to a safe place for Jews, he Reiterated his old saying: If there was no Israel, we would work to establish it
Biden added that the operation of the Palestinian resistance movement (Hamas) left a deep wound on the Israelis, likening the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation to being 15 times greater than the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Biden addressed the Israelis, saying that there were those who wanted to break their will, but he “did not succeed,” expressing his solidarity with their “pain” as a result of Hamas holding about 250 prisoners.
In his speech, the American President stressed the priority of the issue of releasing prisoners.
Biden pointed out the need to work on a two-state solution and integrate Israel into its surroundings, stressing that the United States stands by Israel during what he described as the dark days.
During his visit, which came after the Baptist Hospital massacre, the US President warned other countries against attacking Israel, while adopting the Israeli narrative that holds the Palestinian resistance responsible for the bombing of the hospital, citing data presented to him by the US Department of Defense.
Biden also stated that he will ask Congress to provide unprecedented supplies to Tel Aviv this week to support Iron Dome and the State of Israel in general.
Biden read his speech at a hotel in Tel Aviv, amid intense security measures, with snipers stationed on the rooftops of nearby houses.
The US President considers Israel's presence in the Middle East to protect their interests in the region, as he affirmed in more than one speech the United States' full and unconditional support for Tel Aviv.
