“We honor the Rebbe’s birthday every year, but we know this year is different,” the U.S. president stated.
The U.S. president was apparently referring to Rafah, the last Hamas stronghold in the Gaza Strip.
The United States “has almost never supported Israeli offensives—not in 1948, 1967 and 1982, nor against Hezbollah and Hamas,” Michael Oren tells JNS.
“We’re committed to a ceasefire that will bring the hostages home, and preventing conflict from spreading beyond what it already has,” said the U.S. president.
The decision was made in part because Tehran’s drone and missile attacks “caused relatively minor damage.”
The U.S. president will convene G7 leaders to coordinate a “united diplomatic response” to the Iranian assault.
“Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks—sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel.”
The IDF and allied militaries intercepted 99% of the more than 300 drones and missiles fired by Tehran and its terror proxies.
“No Joe Biden. The Iranian regime’s failure to do major damage with 350 missiles is not a ‘win’—9 million Israelis spent the night being terrorized,” said NGO Monitor founder Gerald Steinberg.
“I condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms,” the U.S. president said.
“The United States will stand with the people of Israel and support their defense against these threats from Iran,” the American president said.
“We will support Israel and help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed,” the U.S. president said.
