 Mr. President, Joe, I want to thank you for coming here today and for the unequivocal support you have given Israel during these trying times, a support that reflects the overwhelming will of the American people. I've seen your support every day in the depth and breadth of cooperation that we have had since the beginning of this war, a level of cooperation that is truly unprecedented in the history of the great alliance between our two nations. Terrorist group Hamas has slaughtered, has been pointed out, over 1,300 people and it's not hyperbole, it's just slaughtered, slaughtered, and including 31 Americans as part of that. And they've taken scores of people hostage, including children. You said imagine what those children hiding from Hamas were thinking. It's beyond my comprehension to be able to imagine what they're thinking, beyond my comprehension. They're committed evils that, atrocities that make ISIS look somewhat more rational. You know, Americans are grieving with you, they really are, and Americans are worried. Americans are worried because we know this is not an easy field to navigate what you have to do. But the fact is that Israel, as they responded to these attacks, seems to me that I have to continue to ensure that you have what you need to defend yourselves. And we're going to make sure that occurs, as you know. And we have to also bear in mind that Hamas does not represent all the Palestinian people and has brought them only suffering. I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday and based on what I've seen it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you. I want to say to the people of Israel, their courage, their commitment, their bravery is stunning. It's really stunning. I'm proud to be here.
