POTUS Joe Biden Delivered A White House Address on the Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine Wars following his historic trip.
President Biden addressed the nation on the United States' response to the ongoing Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine wars from the White House’s Oval Office.
He said he would officially request from Congress “an urgent budget request” on the following day to support Israel and Ukraine. Mr. Biden explained why it was in the national security interests of the U.S. to do this, saying that when terrorists and dictators do not pay the consequences for hostile actions, “more chaos and death and more destruction” ensues.
Also, the president called for Americans to denounce antisemitism & Islamophobia amid the Israel-Hamas War. At the time of this address, House Republicans had still not chosen a speaker after removing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the position. This was the second occasion in which President Biden used the Oval Office to address the nation, having previously delivered a speech on a bipartisan agreement to avoid defaulting on the nation’s debt in June. close
POTUS Joe Biden says that if terrorists and dictators aren’t stopped, “the cost and the threats to America” will keep rising.
“History has taught us that when terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictators don’t pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction,” Mr. Biden said. “They keep going. And the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising.”
The President is expected to soon ask Congress for $14 billion in emergency assistance for Israel and $60 billion for Ukraine’s war with Russia.
