YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Joe Biden said the response to Iran’s attack over the weekend showed the US was committed to Israel’s security and that he hoped to prevent the conflict in the Middle East from escalating.
“Iran launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, and we mounted an unprecedented military effort to defend it. Together with our partners we defeated that attack,” Biden said during an Oval Office meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani about the barrage of missiles and drones.
“We’re committed to a ceasefire that will bring the hostages home and prevent the conflict from spreading beyond what it already has,” Biden added.
Biden and top US officials have urged restraint — hoping to avoid a broader regional war — and highlighted the coalition that came to Israel’s defense in a bid to convince Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to deescalate the military campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip that has sparked a humanitarian crisis.
