The President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, has assured his support for the nation of Israel after they suffered an attack by a Palestinian group, Hamas, on Saturday.

He made this known while delivering his remarks on the attack via his X handle on Saturday evening.

Biden said, "In this moment of tragedy, I want to say that the United States stands with Israel, we will not ever fail to have her back. We'll make sure that they have the help that her citizens need and they can continue to defend themselves.

"The world has seen appalling images, thousands of rockets in the space of hours raining down on Israeli cities killing not only the soldiers but Israeli civilians in the streets, in their homes. Innocent people were murdered, wounded, and entire families taken hostage by Hamas.

"The United States stands with the people of Israel in the face of this terrorist assault.

"Israel has the right to defend itself and its people. There is never a justification for terrorist attacks."
