US President Joe Biden, in a post on X, has said that the US government must make sure Israel’s military “have what they need” to protect themselves.

“Israel has the right to defend itself. We must make sure they have what they need to protect their people today and always,” he said, adding that Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu must operate by the laws of war.

“We can’t ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians who only want to live in peace. That’s why I secured an agreement for the first shipment of humanitarian assistance for Palestinian civilians in Gaza,” he added.
