President Joe Biden on Saturday decried the 맥스카지노�appalling assault" by Hamas militants and his administration pledged to ensure Israel has 맥스카지노�what it needs to defend itself맥스카지노� after the surprise attack that drew worldwide condemnation and anger from Israel's allies.Biden made clear in a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that 맥스카지노�we stand ready to offer all appropriate means of support," according to the White House. He also called Jordan's King Abdullah II. Secretary of State Antony Blinken rushed to the White House for meetings and was phoning foreign counterparts, while Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with Israel's defense minister.맥스카지노�Terrorism is never justified.

But given the scale of the Hamas attacks and Israel's military response, the officials said they were not optimistic about any short-term solution.Like Biden, who said the U.S. 맥스카지노�unequivocally condemns this appalling assault,맥스카지노� many world leaders stressed that Israel has a right to defend itself and they pledged solidarity.맥스카지노�We believe that order will be restored and the terrorists will be destroyed,맥스카지노� Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said in a post on his official Telegram channel.

It is purely terrorism.맥스카지노�German Chancellor OIaf Scholz said his country stands beside Israel, a sentiment echoed by the Austrian chancellor, Karl Nehammer.
