United States President Joe Biden pledged during a White House event to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah that he would not stop until he secures the release of all hostages of the Islamic terrorist group Hamas in Gaza. Band.
“I have brought out more than 100 hostages and I will not stop until every one of them returns home,” the president declared, triggering a standing ovation from the audience, which included representatives of the Jewish community in the United States.
Biden, who will succeed Donald Trump on January 20, confirmed the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon concluded last month between Israel and the Shiite terrorist organization Hezbollah with the mediation of the United States.
“I have said repeatedly that my commitment to the security of the Jewish people and the right of Israel to exist as an independent nation-state remains unwavering,” stressed the president, who declared “Zionist”.
The Biden administration has tried unsuccessfully in recent months to get Israel and Hamas to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for the release of the hostages.
