He calls the attack “defeated and ineffective.”
President Joe Biden reaffirmed the U.S. support of Israel after Iran launched over 180 ballistic missiles toward Tel Aviv and Jerusalem Tuesday evening. Millions of Israelis headed to bomb shelters as the explosions began.
President Biden stated that the U.S. military “actively supported the defense of Israel.”
“Based on what we know now, the attack appears to have been defeated and ineffective, and this is testament to Israeli military capability and the U.S. military,” the president said. “It’s also a testament to intensive planning between the United States and Israel to anticipate and defend against the brazen attack we expected.”
President Biden asserted that the United States “is fully, fully, fully supportive of Israel” and said he has been “meeting with my whole national security team and consulting with the Israelis.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the president and national security advisor to seek God’s guidance as they respond to the attack by Iran against Israel.
- For discernment for U.S. military and defense officials as they coordinate with Israeli leaders.
- For the peace of Jerusalem and the safety of the people in Israel.
