And what we see when we look at terror of that proportion: We have to have a response. Israel has to have a response. We stand with Israel. They have the right, and they have the responsibility to do what needs to be done.” On Israel’s Defense Needs: “We know that Israel will need more defensive capabilities. They will need interceptors for the Iron Dome. We know that Israel will also need more offensive capabilities like precision guided munitions. And we know that Israel is going to need medical equipment to help their troops, to help their citizens, to help them recover from these vicious attacks by Hamas, who is backed by Iran. The United States and Israel have long partnered and have a special relationship. We share intelligence with the Israelis on terrorism that happens in the Middle East. And that must continue.” On U.S. Assistance to Israel: “They have to defend themselves, and we are there to offer them assistance. We need to provide the Israeli Government with the support that it needs to defend its own territory and to defend its people. And this will allow Israel the resources to make difficult decisions that it's going to have to make in the days and the weeks and the months ahead.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:43:12Z |
