Tonight (between Monday and Tuesday) during the traditional Hanukkah candle lighting ceremony at the White House, US President Joe Biden joked to those present about his relationship with Netanyahu and claimed, "Bibi, I love you but I don't agree with a word you say." "It's almost the same today," KAN news reporter Natan Gutman reported.
During the ceremony attended by leaders from the Jewish community, the President reiterated his commitment to Israel's security and the right to defend itself and that the administration under his leadership will never leave Israel. "You don't have to be Jewish to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist," he said to the audience.
"The rape committed by Hamas terrorists is intolerable, everyone should condemn"
Biden emphasized that American military aid to Israel will continue until, according to him, they "get rid of Hamas", but he reserved, saying that Israel should be careful because world public opinion can change and that must not be allowed to happen.
On the issue of the hostages, Biden said that Washington is working day and night to bring about their release. In addition, he mentioned the acts of rape committed by Hamas terrorists against women. "This is intolerable and we must all condemn it without reservation." According to him, "I understand that you are hurt by the silence and the fear. The increase in anti-Semitism in the US and in the world is sickening. He also stated that "there is no place for hatred in America against Jews, Muslims or anyone else"
