President Joe Biden pledged “rock solid” support for Israel on Saturday in the face of what he described as “terrorist assaults” by Palestinian militant group Hamas, with an announcement on US military assistance expected imminently.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reaffirmed Washington’s commitment, saying “over the coming days the Department of Defense will work to ensure that Israel has what it needs.” Meanwhile, top US diplomat Antony Blinken spoke with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas — whose West Bank-based Fatah movement is a rival to Hamas — and “called on all leadership in the region to condemn” the attack on Israel.Former president Donald Trump weighed in, blaming Biden, without evidence, for indirectly funding the attacks.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates said on social media that “this is a shameful lie in every respect, at a time when both parties should be totally united in supporting Israel’s defense.”
