The security measure was greatly bolstered here in the nation’s capital on Wednesday, ahead of the US President’s official visit to war-torn Israel. Many roads have been blocked off and a large number of security guards have been stationed throughout the city to protect the US President. US President Joe Biden left Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on Wednesday (local time) for Israel. He will confer with senior Israeli officials regarding the next course of action upon his arrival in Israel on Wednesday in order to show solidarity in the wake of Hamas’s heinous terrorist attack.
Biden will further travel to Jordan to meet with leaders and address dire humanitarian needs.
Sharing on his social media, ‘X’, Biden said on Tuesday, “I’m travelling to Israel tomorrow to stand in solidarity in the face of Hamas’s brutal terrorist attack and to consult on the next steps. I’ll then travel to Jordan to meet with leaders and address dire humanitarian needs–and make clear that Hamas does not stand for Palestinians’ right to self-determination.”
On Joe Biden’s upcoming visit to Israel, US’ National Security Council (NSC) coordinator for strategic communications, John Kirby in a video posted by White House on X, earlier today said, “…President Biden will have two stops, Tel Aviv and Amman, Jordan. In both these stops, he will talk about how important it is for the US and other partners to stand up for Israel and allow them to continue to defend themselves against Hamas terrorists.
