The US President Joe Biden says he visited Israel to show where the US stands in the conflict.
He goes on to describe the massacres by Hamas on 7 October. He says is “not hyperbole” to say they “slaughtered” 1,300 people, including 31 Americans.
He also speaks about the Israeli hostages, including children. “Imagine what those children hiding from Hamas were thinking? It’s beyond my comprehension.”
The US will continue to support Israel, he says, telling Netanyahu: “I’m looking forward to having a discussion about what happens from here.”
He says the “courage, commitment and bravery” of Israeli people is “stunning”, adding “I’m proud to be here”. (BBC)
