Hamas attack is unadulterated evil unleashed on the world: US President Joe Biden
US President Joe Biden on Tuesday said the Hamas’ attack on Israel is an “unadulterated evil unleashed on the world” and added that at least 14 American citizens were killed in the incident.
Biden also said it was Hamas’ stated purpose to annihilate the state of Israel and kill Jewish people.
“There are moments in this life – and I mean this literally – when pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world. The people of Israel lived through one such moment this weekend. The bloody hands of the terrorist organisation Hamas – a group whose stated purpose for being is to kill Jews,” Biden said in his address to the nation from the White House.
The US president has earlier vowed his administration's "rock solid and unwavering" support to Israel. The United States has launched a major global diplomatic drive to garner support for Israel and take necessary action against Palestinian militant group Hamas.Update: 2023-10-11 02:26 GMT
