During the State of the Union (#SOTU) address, President Biden emphasized Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas, attributing the ongoing conflict in Gaza to the actions of the terrorist group. Biden highlighted that Hamas is responsible for the current situation due to their refusal to cease hostilities, including stealing aid and walking away from ceasefire negotiations. He specifically noted that Hamas could end the conflict immediately by releasing hostages, laying down arms, and surrendering those responsible for the attacks on October 7th. Various political figures and commentators echoed the president's stance, urging the U.S. to support Israel in its efforts to combat Hamas and calling for immediate action to resolve the crisis.
