But on Thursday night, he emphasized the two countries at war.<\/p>\n<p>EXISTING HOME SALES FALL TO LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 2010 AS HIGH MORTGAGE RATES FREEZE MARKET<\/p>\n<p>Biden called the terrorist group Hamas &#8220;pure, unadulterated evil&#8221; and talked about the mass graves Russian President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s forces dug in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHamas and Putin represent different threats,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But they have this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;American values are what make us a partner that other nations want to work with. To put all that at risk if we walk away from Ukraine, we turn our backs on Israel. It&#8217;s just not worth it,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Biden called for the rejection of antisemitism and Islamophobia &#8220;without equivocation&#8221; at home while pledging support for Israeli security and Ukrainian sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We must denounce violence and vitriol,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s remarks came against the backdrop of dysfunction in the House of Representatives, which has been without a speaker for over two weeks as the Republican majority has failed to coalesce around a replacement for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy was removed from the position last month after eight House Republicans revolted and pushed a motion to vacate that won the support of all Democrats in the lower chamber.<\/p>\n<p>A functioning House would be necessary for the passage of a supplemental along the lines of what Biden is proposing.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has long been a proponent of aid to Ukraine since it was invaded by Russia in February 2022. He has managed to keep congressional Democrats together on the issue, even as Republicans have shown a limit to how involved they want to be in funding the war. He emphasized that the weapons being built in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has fractured Biden\u2019s coalition a bit more, as polling shows Democrats tiling more toward the Palestinians in recent years. Even after the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, a handful of House progressives have pushed back against what they regard as Biden\u2019s one-sided approach to the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Biden has remained steadfast. \u201cIn the wake of Hamas\u2019s appalling terrorist assault \u2014 it was brutal, inhumane, almost beyond belief what they did \u2014 this Cabinet came together and \u2014 standing strong, standing united,\u201d Biden said alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week. \u201cAnd \u2014 and I want you to know you\u2019re not alone. You are not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans, especially those seeking the 2024 nomination to challenge Biden for reelection, have still been critical of the president. They point to his unfreezing of $6 billion in Iranian funds, noting Tehran backs Hamas, as well as the pledging of humanitarian aid to Gaza before the return of American hostages.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The horrific catastrophes taking place in Israel as well as the chaos on our southern border and in hot spot after hot spot around the world, all have one thing in common: they were caused by Crooked Joe Biden\u2019s deadly combination of incompetence, radicalism, and weakness,&#8221; former President Donald Trump&#8217;s 2024 campaign said in a statement shortly before Biden spoke from the White House. &#8220;When Biden gives his Oval Office address tonight, he is desperately hoping Americans will forget that it\u2019s Biden himself who is responsible for these disasters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden and his team reject these criticisms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m hopeful we can get some Americans out as well of Gaza, and I\u2019m \u2014 hopefully, we will continue to work towards getting other Americans out through other means as well,\u201d Biden told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Israelis have made it clear that they don\u2019t want any of this humanitarian assistance, this material to get into Hamas\u2019s hands,\u201d National Security Council coordinator John Kirby said at the same press briefing. \u201cWe share that concern. And so, that\u2019s \u2014 that\u2019s part of the process here that\u2019s been worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden has reportedly revised remarks prepared by his White House staffers that he regards as insufficiently strong in support of Israel. Yet his has made some muted calls for Israeli restraint following the Hamas attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI caution this: While you feel that rage, don\u2019t be consumed by it,\u201d he said. \u201cI know the choices are never clear or easy for the leadership. There\u2019s always a cost, but it requires being deliberate, requires asking very hard questions. That requires clarity about the objectives and an honest assessment about whether the path you\u2019re on will achieve those objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/p>\n<p>Biden referenced political polarization at home toward the end of his speech. &#8220;We cannot let petty, partisan, angry politics get in the way of our responsibilities as a nation,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We cannot \u2014 and will not \u2014 let terrorists like Hamas and tyrants like Putin win,&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;I refuse to let that happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden laid out his case for wartime aid to Israel and Ukraine in a prime-time address from the Oval Office on Thursday night, shortly after returning from the Jewish state to pledge his support in the war against Hamas.
