Biden: Al-Qaeda remains innocent compared to Hamas

US President Biden made assessments about the conflict between Israel and Hamas in his speech in Philadelphia.

“Al Qaeda is still innocent compared to them,” referring to Hamas. Biden said, emphasizing the message that the United States supports Israel.

Biden said: “We are doing what is necessary for Israel to defend itself and respond to these attacks. “Urgently addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is also a priority for me.” he said.

Noting that his team is in direct contact with Israel, Egypt, Jordan and other Arab countries and the United Nations (UN) to address the humanitarian situation in the region, Biden said: “We cannot ignore the fact that the overwhelming Most Palestinians have nothing to do with Hamas. Hamas is carrying out horrific attacks and they are suffering as a result.” saying.

Armed groups then entered settlements inside Israel from here and the Israeli army launched an attack on the Gaza Strip with dozens of fighter jets.

It was reported that 1,300 Israelis were killed and 3,436 Israelis were injured in the attacks carried out from Gaza.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 1,799 people were killed and 6,488 people were injured in Gaza due to Israeli attacks.

It was also claimed that 45 Palestinians were killed and approximately 619 people were injured in attacks by Israeli forces and Jewish settlers in the West Bank. (AA)
