President Biden met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House.
The Biden administration continues to push for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon before President-elect Donald Trump takes power in January.
Well, Mr. President, welcome back to the Oval Office in the White House.
You've been a friend for a long time, a personal friend.
And you know my commitment to Israel is ironclad and we share a deep friendship.
I want to thank you again for being here and the floor is yours.
Thank you, Mr. President.
It's always a great honor to be here in the Oval Office and to be with a friend such as you, Mr. President.
I will start, of course, with the sad news of the day.
In the last two hours, two Israelis were murdered by rocket attacks from Lebanon in the northern town of Naharia, a beautiful seashore town in the northern part of Israel.
Early in the day, a kindergarten teacher of a kindergarten of special needs, children with special needs, rescued bravely and wisely the toddlers in the kindergarten from a drone attack.
A drone exploded in the kindergarten.
This is what we're going through from Lebanon, Mr. President, and you know it all too well.
We are fighting hard.
We're defending our people, our brave soldiers and pilots.
And I know that you're working very hard to make sure that this war will end and that there will be first and foremost security for the people of Israel as well as for the people of Lebanon.
And in Gaza, we have 101 hostages over 400 days.
I know, Mr. President, that you know you're day in, day out, actively seeking their safe return home as they are going through hell in the dungeons of Gaza.
Clearly, you're thinking and working about the day after as well, which perhaps should be a trajectory of hope to the people of the region and the ability to have our neighbors as well as us live in security and peace.
But first and foremost, we have to get the hostages backpacked.
And it all starts in Tehran.
It all starts in the Empire of Evil, where in Tehran, with its proxies, they are doing whatever they can to derail stability and security and peace, calling for the annihilation of the state of Israel and seeking nuclear weapons.
Mr. President, this has to be a major objective all throughout your term and the next term of the next president because we have to make sure that they cannot fulfill their evil intentions.
They're also a major engine of anti-Semitism, Mr. President, and I know how much you put a focus on fighting and combating anti-Semitism.
But most importantly, I'm here on behalf of the people of Israel and the nation of Israel and the state of Israel to say to you, Mr. President, thank you very much, as we say in Hebrew, Toda Aba.
You've been an incredible friend of Israel and the Jewish people for decades.
And we will never forget, ever, in history, how you stood up with us in our darkest hour, which became our finest hour.
How you came to Israel a few days after the barbaric attack of October 7th.
How you helped us and supported us with words and deeds.
And I want to express our heartfelt thanks to you, Mr. President, which is a great legacy that you stood up with the Jewish people and the state of Israel, as you always did.
So I brought you a little gift, which is an archaeological artifact from the foot of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which has the word Joseph, Yosef.
And as you know, in the Bible, it is said that Joseph will strengthen Israel.
And clearly, Mr. President, you've done it.
Thank you very much.
Well, I hope my father heard it.
My father was what we call a righteous Christian.
He couldn't understand why we didn't move more rapidly back in World War II than lesson.
And anyway.
That was a great legacy of your father.
Well, it was.
I remember how I got in trouble.
We were friends even back then when I said years ago as a senator, I said, you don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.
And I know you laughed.
You're clearly a Zionist, Mr. President.
Well, God love you.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for being here, pal.
