President Joe Biden addressed the Democratic National Convention Monday night, during which he appeared to express considerable agreement with the anti-Israel protesters agitating outside the event.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Hamas launched a surprise terrorist attack against Israel in October 2023, killing more than 1,000 Israelis and kidnapping hundreds of others. Israel’s retaliatory war in Gaza has sparked protest activity in the United States and Europe, often in the form of encampments on college campuses.
While the Biden-Harris administration has been touting its support for Israel, certain factions in the Democratic Party have been at odds with the Jewish state, calling for a ceasefire and working to hold up federal taxpayer spending on munitions for Israel.
Here’s some of what Fox News reported on Biden’s DNC address:
President Biden delivered his highly anticipated address to the Democratic National Convention late Monday night and touched on a variety of subjects including strong criticisms of former President Trump and the conflict between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization in control of Gaza.
“Those, those protesters out in the street, they have a point,” Biden told the crowd in the United Center after anti-Israel protesters marched on the convention calling for an end to the U.S. support of Israel. “A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides.”
“We’re working around the clock,” Biden said. “To end the civilian suffering of the Palestinian people and finally, finally, finally deliver a ceasefire and end this war.”
“We’re working around the clock. My Secretary of State, to prevent a wider war and reunite hostage to their families and surge humanitarian, health and food assistance into Gaza. Now. To end the civilian suffering of the Palestinian people and finally, finally, finally deliver a cease-fire and end this war.”
