Biden Reaffirms Support for Israel on Anniversary of Hamas Attack

President Biden pledges continued U.S. support for Israel while addressing the ongoing conflict and humanitarian concerns in Gaza.

President Biden marked the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack, which resulted in 1,200 deaths, including 46 Americans, and sparked an ongoing regional conflict.
The Biden administration has provided substantial military aid to Israel, including a $17 billion aid package and logistical support against threats from Iran and Hezbollah.
Biden expressed condolences to Israeli President Herzog and reiterated the U.S. commitment to Israel's security and the safe return of hostages held by Hamas.
Despite strong support, Biden's administration faces criticism for perceived hesitations and pressure from progressive factions within the Democratic Party.
The conflict has resulted in significant loss of life in Gaza, with over 40,000 casualties, prompting calls for a resolution that ensures lasting peace and prevents future control by Hamas.
