US President Joe Biden said yesterday that Israel has the right to respond to the October 7 Hamas attack but must do everything it can to protect civilians.
Biden told a press conference with visiting Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese that he “did not demand” that Israel delay a ground invasion of Gaza.
“Israel has a right and I would add responsibility to respond to the slaughter of its people,” Biden told reporters in the Rose Garden at the White House. “Israel has to do everything in its power, as difficult as it is, to protect innocent civilians. It’s difficult,” he said.
