Israel/Hamas/Gaza Tweets

From Wednesday…

President Biden opened his remarks yesterday with the following:

At any rate, before — before I start today, I would like to say a few words about the latest developments in the Gaza Strip in Israel. 

Today, thanks to concerted American leadership, we’re in a situation where safe passage for wounded Palestinians and foreign nationals to exit Gaza has started. 

American citizens were able to exit today as part of the first group of probably over a thousand.  We’ll see more of this process going on in the coming days. 

We’re working nonstop to get Americans out of Gaza as soon and as safely as possible.  This is the result of intense and urgent American diplomacy with our partners in the region. 

I personally spent a lot of time speaking with the Prime Minister, Netanyahu, of Israel and President Sisi of Egypt and others to make sure that we could open this access for people to get out.

I want to thank our partners in the region and particularly Qatar, who have worked so closely with us to support negotiations to fa- — to facilitate the departure of these citizens. 

At the same time, we’re continuing working to significantly step up the flow of critical humanitarian assistance into Gaza.  The number of trucks entering Gaza continues to increase significantly, but we still have a long way to go.

The United States is going to continue to drive humanitarian support for innocent people in Gaza who need help.  And they do need help. 

We’re going to continue to affirm that Israel has the right to re- — and responsibility to defend its citizens from terror, and it needs to do so in a manner, though, that’s consistent with international and humanitarian law that prioritizes the protection of citizens. 

We’ve all seen the devastating images from Gaza:  Palestinian children crying out for lost parents, parents reasoning and writing their children’s names on their hands and legs to be identified if the worst happens. 

(A child in the audience cries.)

It’s okay.  Kids are allowed to do that with me.  (Laughter and applause.)  Don’t worry about it.  All right?  I don’t blame her.  Is it a him or her?

AUDIENCE MEMBER:  Her!

THE PRESIDENT:  I don’t blame her.  (Laughter.)

Look, the loss of every in- — every innocent life is a tragedy.

We grieve for those deaths and continue to grieve for the Israeli children and mothers who were brutally slaughtered by Hamas terrorists and also continue to hold in our hearts the hundreds of families and loved ones, including small children and elderly grandparents, including American citizens, being held hostage. 

My administration continues to work around the clock to reunite those families.  We’re not going to give up.  Period.  We’re not going to give up.  (Applause.)

And I am optimistic.  But then, I am an optimist.

Statement from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on President Biden’s Establishment of First-Ever National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia

President Biden ran for office to restore the soul of our nation. He is unequivocal: there is no place for hate in America against anyone. Period.

Today, he and Vice President Harris are announcing that their Administration will develop the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia in the United States. We look forward to continuing our work with community leaders, advocates, members of Congress, and more to develop the strategy – which will be a joint effort led by the Domestic Policy Council and the National Security Council – and counter the scourge of Islamophobia and hate in all its forms. For too long, Muslims in America, and those perceived to be Muslim, such as Arabs and Sikhs, have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks and other discriminatory incidents. We all mourn the recent barbaric killing of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a 6-year-old Palestinian American Muslim boy, and the brutal attack on his mother in their home outside Chicago.

Today’s announcement is the latest step as part of President Biden’s directive last year to establish an interagency group to increase and better coordinate U.S. Government efforts to counter Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and related forms of bias and discrimination within the United States. Moving forward, the President, Vice President, and our entire Administration will continue working to ensure every American has the freedom to live their lives in safety and without fear for how they pray, what they believe, and who they are.

Investing in Rural America Tweets

From Wednesday…

The YouTube is 24 minutes and 25 seconds long. His full remarks can be found here.

When rural America does well, when Indian Country does well, we all do well.  

White House.gov. 11/01/2023.

All over rural America, young people are saying to their parents, “I can’t live here anymore.  I can’t do it because I can’t find a job.  You gave me an education, but there’s nothing for me here.  I got to leave.”

I came to office determined to change that.

[snip]

It’s about restoring pride in rur- — to rural communities that have been left behind for far too long.  (Applause.)  No, you really have.  It’s not hyperbole. 

White House.gov. 11/01/2023.

“High-speed Internet”

Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law — it’s a fancy name, but it’s about rebuilding America’s bridges, roads, highways, et cetera — we’re making the most substantial investment since President Eisenhower’s rural American — since — in rural America since Eisenhower’s highway plan — roads, bridges, inland waterways, ports, regional airports, clean water, high-speed Internet. 

We’re — we’re building affordable high-speed Internet for every household.  Over 230,000 Minnesotans’ households are already saving $30 or more per month on their Internet bills through the Affordable Connectivity Program.  (Applause.) 

[snip]

And we’re also investing — (applause) — we’re also investing over $50 million to bring high-speed Internet to Tribal communities here in Minnesota alone.  (Applause.)  

[snip]

An additional $274 million will expand rural high-speed Internet even further.  (Applause.)
