I spoke with members of the 494th and 335th Fighter Squadrons today to commend them for their exceptional airmanship and skill in defending Israel from an unprecedented aerial attack by Iran. These brave servicemembers make us all proud.

“We express our full solidarity and support to Israel and its people and reaffirm our commitment towards its security.”

G7 Leaders’ Statement on Iran’s Attack Against Israel
🇺🇸🇫🇷🇨🇦🇯🇵🇩🇪🇬🇧🇮🇹

I just met with my national security team for an update on Iran’s attacks against Israel. Our commitment to Israel’s security against threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad.

.President Biden has been clear: our support for Israel’s security is ironclad. The United States will stand with the people of Israel and support their defense against these threats from Iran.

Statement from Adrienne Watson below.

This morning, I spoke with my Israeli counterpart, National Security Advisor Hanegbi, to discuss events in the Middle East. During the call, I reiterated the United States’ ironclad commitment to the security of Israel.

.President Biden and the story of America 🇺🇸

“My lifetime has taught me to embrace freedom and democracy.

Honesty. Decency. Dignity. Equality.

To respect everyone. To give everyone a fair shot. To give hate no safe harbor.”

After President Biden pledges not to rest until the hostages are home, he reiterates that Israel has a right to go after Hamas. 

Hamas could end this conflict today by releasing the hostages, laying down arms, and surrendering those responsible for October 7th. #StateOfTheUnion2024

'It doesn’t make the news but in thousands of cities and towns the American people are writing the greatest comeback story never told.' - President Biden 🇺🇸
