US President Joe Biden appeared to place a cautionary note on US military support to help the IDF oust Hamas from Gaza during the White House’s annual Hanukkah party on Monday night.
“We continue to provide military assistance [to the IDF] until they get rid of Hamas - but you have to be careful, I have to be careful,” Biden said.
“The whole world, public opinion, can shift overnight, you can’t let that happen,” he added.
Biden spoke amid growing international pressure against the war, which is often portrayed as a military campaign against a defenseless people rather than a war against a terror group that on October 7 killed over 1,200 people and seized some 250 hostages.
