"Well, thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.

In the wake of Hamas's appalling terrorist assault -- it was brutal, inhumane, almost beyond belief what they did -- this cabinet came together and -- standing strong, standing united.

And -- and I want you to know you're not alone. You are not alone.

As I emphasized earlier, we will continue to have Israel's back as you work to defend your people. We'll continue to work with you and partners across the region to prevent more tragedy to innocent civilians.

Seventy-five years ago, your founders declared that this nation would be one based -- quote, "based on freedom, justice, and peace." "Based on freedom, justice, and peace."

The United States stands with you in defense of that freedom, in pursuit of that justice, and in support of that peace today, tomorrow, and always. We promise you."
