WHAT DID JOE BIDEN SAY?
“*This is what President Biden said in his rare address to the nation in the Oval Office. His speech aimed to show the connection between the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, and he called on Congress to act and pass an aid package to support both countries. Biden hasn't actually specified how much additional funding he's seeking, but he's expected to ask for $100 billion. Notable quotes from his speech include:
* “Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they have one thing in common: They both want to completely wipe out their neighboring democracies.”
* “If we do not stop Putin's thirst for power and control in Ukraine, it will not be limited to Ukraine.”
* Biden said Hamas had unleashed "pure, unadulterated evil on the world" and insisted that "there is no higher priority for me than the safety of the Americans held hostage."
He also addressed the common view that the two conflicts seem distant to many Americans, saying that "ensuring the success of Israel and Ukraine is important to America's national security. " His final task is to explain why it is important for Americans to give billions of dollars in aid to Israel and Ukraine. The president said terrorists and dictators must "pay the price."

Vance, who opposes new aid to Ukraine, criticized it, calling it "disgusting." “He is using dead children in Israel to sell his disastrous Ukraine policy to skeptical Americans,” he wrote on Twitter. “These are not the same countries, these are not the same issues, and the attempt to use Israel as political cover is insulting.” Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn posted on X, formerly Twitter: “He should not tie aid to Israel to aid to Ukraine or the border. » Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton was disappointed that Biden did not focus his speech more on Iran. “Biden must immediately warn Iran that any attack by its proxies against Americans will be considered a direct attack by Iran against the United States and will result in great retaliation". “America remains a beacon to the world,” Biden concluded his speech by talking about the secret trip to Ukraine via Poland he took earlier this year to show support for Zelensky and Ukraine. “We are stronger than ever. America remains a beacon to the world. However." "We cannot let petty, partisan politics get in the way of our responsibility as a great nation." He said he would not let Hamas and Putin win.
