Watch more on iWantTFC US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he believes Israel has the rights to defend its citizens while protecting innocent civilians in Gaza who are victims of the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Biden said he believed one reason Hamas militants attacked southern Israel, killing 1,400 people on Oct. 7, was to prevent normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Israeli airstrikes in retaliation have killed over 6,500 people, the health ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza said on Wednesday. Reuters has not been able to independently verify the casualty figures of either side.
