By Daily Wire. President Joe Biden rambled while talking to reporters on Air Force One late Wednesday night after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel following the deadly Palestinian terrorist attacks there last weekend.
Biden was asked by a reporter about how meeting survivors and first responders on the trip impacted him.
“Look, I spent an hour and a half about with the 17 or 18 before and–, I don’t know how to say this,” he said. “Virtually every–, mass shooting–, every–, circumstance where large number of people have been victimized and lost, I’ve spoken with them.”
“I learned a long time ago, but you all learned in your life as well, when someone’s going through something that is beyond their comprehension — that they never thought they’d have to go through — if they see someone who they think understands or maybe been through something not the same but similar, it gives them some sense of hope,” he said. “And I always get criticized sometimes by my staff because when I go to these events, I stay for three or four hours and answer all their questions, but it matters.”

Biden to Seek ‘Unprecedented’ Israel Aid Package; Pledges $100 Million for Humanitarian Relief in Gaza and West Bank
By CNBC. President Joe Biden reaffirmed America’s commitment to Israel on Wednesday in Tel Aviv, where he blamed a deadly hospital blast on militants inside Gaza.
“Based on the information we’ve seen to date, it appears it was a result of an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza,” he said.
Biden also committed $100 million in humanitarian assistance to Gaza and the West Bank, to support the more than 1 million people displaced by the ongoing conflict.
The president said he planned to ask Congress for an “unprecedented support package for Israel’s defense” but did not elaborate.
Biden arrived in Tel Aviv hours after an explosion killed hundreds of people taking shelter at the al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza. (Read more from “Biden to Seek ‘Unprecedented’ Israel Aid Package; Pledges $100 Million for Humanitarian Relief in Gaza and West Bank” HERE)
