Israel/U.S.–EU Summit Tweets

From Friday…

The video clip is 20 seconds long. It’s a behind the scenes look at President Biden and crew getting ready for the President’s Oval Office national address on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East.

His full statement:

Today, we have secured the release of two Americans taken hostage by Hamas during the horrific terrorist assault against Israel on October 7.  Our fellow citizens have endured a terrible ordeal these past 14 days, and I am overjoyed that they will soon be reunited with their family, who has been wracked with fear. These individuals and their family will have the full support of the United States government as they recover and heal, and we should all respect their privacy in this moment.
 
From the earliest moments of this attack, we have been working around-the-clock to free American citizens who were taken hostage by Hamas, and we have not ceased our efforts to secure the release of those who are still being held.  I thank the government of Qatar and the government of Israel for their partnership in this work.  Jill and I have been holding close in our hearts all the families of unaccounted for Americans. And, as I told those families when I spoke with them last week—we will not stop until we get their loved ones home. As president, I have no higher priority than the safety of Americans held hostage around the world.

Readout of President Biden’s Call with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel:

President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke this morning with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.  The President reaffirmed the United States’ support for Israel’s right to defend itself and obligation to protect its citizens, while underscoring the importance of operating consistent with the law of war to include the protection of civilians in Gaza caught in the conflict launched by Hamas.  The President and Prime Minister discussed follow-up from the President’s visit to Israel earlier this week, including plans to begin moving humanitarian assistance into Gaza from Egypt.

The leaders discussed ongoing efforts to secure the release of hostages taken by Hamas – including U.S. citizens –and to provide for safe passage for U.S. citizens and other civilians in Gaza.

President Biden expresses his joy that the two women are on their way home.

From Sunday…

Show more =’s best as they can.   We can’t ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians who only want to live in peace. That’s why I secured an agreement for the first shipment of humanitarian assistance for Palestinian civilians in Gaza.   And we cannot give up on a two-state solution.

Readout of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.’s Call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel:

President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to discuss developments in Gaza and in the surrounding region.

The President welcomed the first two convoys of humanitarian assistance since Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack, which crossed the border into Gaza and is being distributed to Palestinians in need.  The leaders affirmed that there will now be continued flow of this critical assistance into Gaza.  The President expressed appreciation for Israel’s support in helping to accommodate the release of two American hostages.  The leaders discussed ongoing efforts to secure the release of all the remaining hostages taken by Hamas – including U.S. citizens –and to provide for safe passage for U.S. citizens and other civilians in Gaza who wish to depart.  

The President and the Prime Minister agreed to stay in close touch.

Remarks by President Biden, European Council President Charles Michel, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen Before Trilateral Meeting; video of remarks via Forbes YouTube.

President Biden:

Welcome. Madam President and Mr. President, it’s great to see you both again. And our last summit, we committed to revitalizing the partnership between the EU and the United States. And over the last two years, we made good on that commitment, I think.

And we stood together to support the brave people of Ukraine in the face of Putin’s aggression. And we stood together to tackle the economic challenges and established standards to guide our relationship with China. And we’re standing together now to support Israel in the wake of Hamas’s appalling terrorist attack.

And I — I just think that it’s — it’s been one of the great pleasures of my presidency to be able to work with all of you. And I mean that sincerely.

[snip]

And so, I want to thank you both for being here and for your unwavering commitment to our partnership.

White House.gov. 10/20/2023.

U.S.-EU Summit Joint Statement:

Snip:

  1. A. TOWARD A MORE SECURE AND STABLE WORLD

    Situation in the Middle East
     
  2. We condemn in the strongest possible terms Hamas and its brutal terrorist attacks across Israel.  There is no justification for terrorism.  We affirm Israel’s right to defend itself against these heinous attacks, in line with international law, including international humanitarian law.  We will work closely with partners in the region to stress the importance of protecting civilians, supporting those who are trying to get to safety or provide assistance, and facilitating access to food, water, medical care, and shelter.  We are concerned by the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza.  It is crucial to prevent regional escalation. We call for the immediate release of all hostages and emphasize our shared view that a two-state solution remains the viable path to lasting peace
