[Blaze] U.S. Secretary of State Blinken announced on Monday that President Biden will visit Israel even as the country continues to hammer away at Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
"On Wednesday, President Biden will visit Israel," said Blinken.
Blame the weather, logistics, anything. Don't do anything until we get there.
"He's coming here at a critical moment for Israel, for the region, and for the world. And he's coming here to do the following. First, the president will reaffirm the United States' solidarity with Israel and our ironclad commitment to its security," he added.
"President Biden will again make clear, as he has done unequivocally since Hamas' slaughter of 1,400 people, including at least 30 Americans, that Israel has the right, and indeed the duty, to defend its people from Hamas and other terrorists and to prevent future attacks," Blinken continued.
He went on say the president would make the visit a warning to state and non-state actors against trying to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Israel.
Headlines read: "Biden ends war and potential nuclear conflict in the Middle East - saves millions of lives."
