Biden condemns Palestinian attacks despite the Israeli killing of 7

During a joint press conference held in Jerusalem on Wednesday, the U.S. Vice President Joe Biden condemned what he called “those in the international community who failed to condemn Palestinian terror attacks against Israel.”

Biden, who is in a five-day-trip to the Middle East,  said to the press that his wife and his grandchildren, who have joined him on this trip, were having dinner on the beach nearby where a Palestinian man killed an American citizen and wounded 12 others – and was further killed in cold blood by the IOF.

He repeated stressed the deep personal and professional friendship he shares with Netanyahu — and the “bond that can never be broken” between their two countries.

“It doesn’t mean we don’t disagree but you never need to doubt that the United States of America has Israel’s back… and we know Israel has our back as well,” Biden said.

When asked by the reporters about the “terrorist attacks” against Israelis yesterday, Biden said:

Speaking after Biden, the Israeli Prime Minister thanked the U.S. Vice President for his strong support and denounced the Palestinian Authority for “failing to condemned his people’s terror attacks against Israelis.”
