Regarding Hamas’ assaults on Israel, Biden said, “These guys make al-Qaeda look pure”

President Joe Biden emphasized that the US stands with the Jewish state while claiming that the terrorist organization Hamas, which assaulted Israel and murdered over 1,000 people, is worse than al-Qaeda, the group responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

As a consequence of the ongoing bloodshed in Israel brought on by Hamas’s unprecedented strikes in Southern Israel last Saturday, at least 27 Americans have killed and 14 are still missing.

In retaliation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted many assaults against Hamas’ crucial infrastructure. The largest escalation between the two sides in decades has so far resulted in almost 2,000 deaths in Israel and the Gaza Strip.

“The assault becomes more horrible as we learn more about it. At least 27 Americans were among the more than 1,000 innocent victims, according to Biden’s statement in Philadelphia.

“These men make al-Qaeda seem to be a pristine organization. They are utterly wicked. Make no mistake, the United States supports Israel, as I said at the outset. The US supports Israel,” he said on Friday.

In response to these strikes, Israel will have the resources it needs, according to Biden’s administration.

He said that the immediate resolution of the Gaza humanitarian issue is a top priority.

“Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is there today, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken was there yesterday,” he stated.

According to Biden, his staff are working in the area under his command, including direct communication with the governments of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab countries, as well as the United Nations, to increase support and have humanitarian repercussions for Hamas strikes that benefit Israel.

We must not lose sight of the reality that the vast majority of Palestinians were not involved in Hamas, its horrific actions, or the misery that followed. On a Zoom call this morning, I spent an hour and a half to an hour and a half speaking with the family members of every American who is still missing,” he stated.

They are in anguish because they don’t know the whereabouts of their sons, daughters, spouses, wives, and kids. You should realize it’s heartbreaking. I reaffirmed to them that I will personally do everything in my power to locate every missing American and bring them home, he added.

According to Biden, his administration is working nonstop in close coordination with Israel and US allies in the area to obtain the release of Americans detained by Hamas.

The president said, “We’re not going to stop until we bring them home.

In a news conference, White House Principal Deputy Secretary Olivia Dalton emphasized that the US is still actively involved in supporting Israel and that it would continue to do so in the days and weeks to come.

The senior US official stated that the United States is still actively coordinating with Egypt and Israel to navigate the potential for and establish the prerequisites for humanitarian corridors that could allow desperately needed aid to replenish stockpiles within Gaza as well as safe passage for civilians who want to flee Gaza.

“Both of them are really significant. We continue to discuss the significance of those issues with the UN as well as our Egyptian and Israeli friends, according to Dalton.

“Hamas continues to use strategies like hiding out in hospitals, mosques, and schools while carrying out its operations via tunnels beneath residential structures. This is a terrorist group that has no concern for human life or for ordinary people. We must keep calling it out because it is terrible and disgusting, he continued.

In what is now being referred to as an unprecedented attack, armed Hamas militants stationed in the Gaza Strip tore through the Israeli security barrier and rushed into Israel by land, air, and sea on Saturday.
