US President Joe Biden has condemned Iranian attacks on military facilities in Israel, pledging a coordinated Group of Seven (G7) diplomatic response while highlighting the United States’s help in taking down “nearly all” of the attacking drones and missiles.
Biden, who cut short a trip to Delaware and returned to Washington, DC to meet advisers over the late Saturday night attack, said in a statement released by the White House that the US forces and facilities had not been hit.
The US president said he reiterated the “ironclad” support for Israel’s security in a call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom he has had strained relations over Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza.
“Tomorrow, I will convene my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a united diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack,” he said.
“And while we have not seen attacks on our forces or facilities today, we will remain vigilant to all threats and will not hesitate to take all necessary action to protect our people,” he said.
“All Joe Biden had to do was stay the fuck out of the middle east for a few months and the election was his…”
The US has been tied to Israel since its founding.
No matter who (or what party) was in the white house, the US would be propping up Isreal after the Hamas attack.
Just like it has done for decades.
Same as Israel was always going to move on Palestine, we were always going to unequivocally support it.
I hope this is true but I’m not confident voters care about the middle east.
You hope this is the point that costs Biden the election? So we can have another Trump presidency?
I wish people cared more about middle Eastern people getting genocided by their own country (or their country aiding said genocide)
Maybe Biden should stop funding a Genocide if he doesn’t want Ttump to win. Stop blaming voters and blame Biden.
No, it’s your choice who you vote for, take some responsibility. The world isn’t black and white, genocide around the world is bad but a genocide at home sounds worse.
Oh they do, and enough care that them not voting could cost Biden tons of close race states. Voters proved that in the Michigan primary.
