Israeli air force strikes killed about 200 people and injured 1,600, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. Hamas said it has taken “senior officers” hostage.
President Biden reiterated his condemnation of the attacks on Israel, using his first on-camera remarks to attest that America’s commitment to its ally is “rock solid and unwavering.” “The United States stands with Israel,” Biden said from the White House on Saturday. “We will not ever fail to have their backs.” He asserted that Israel had the right to defend itself “full stop,” and also said he would personally remain in touch with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu going forward.
The president also sought to make the case that his administration was up to the task of handling the global crisis. He mentioned that he had been working since early Saturday morning to respond. “I’ve also been in contact with the king of Jordan, spoke with members of Congress, directed my national security team to engage with their Israeli counterparts — military to military, intelligence to intelligence, diplomat to diplomat — to make sure Israel has what it needs,” he said.
