This is a region--more people have died in terrorist attacks in West Africa in the last 5 years than the rest of the world combined...

I am very disappointed at how this and previous Administration have chosen to prioritize regions and countries that I do not think fit the framing of that law.

When terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictators don’t pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death.

The President also staying very close with his national security team.

The Biden administration is pressing Israel to delay a possible full-scale ground operation in Gaza.

We can't let petty partisan angry politics get in the way of our responsibility as a great nation.

History has taught us that when terrorists don't pay a price for their terror. When dictators don't pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction.

We made mistakes after 9/11. We felt that all-consuming rage that you feel now. But, don't give into that primal feeling, because we made mistakes. Don't make the same.

We must, without equivocation, denounce antisemitism. We must also, without equivocation, denounce Islamophobia.

When Putin invaded Ukraine, he thought he would take Kyiv and all of Ukraine in a matter of days. Well, over a year later, Putin has failed, and he continues to fail.

his administration had been working hard to get the hostages out of Gaza.

I'm talking to the Israelis.

his administration is working around the clock to try to get those Palestinian Americans out of Gaza.

The administration has been counseling the Israeli government to think hard about the ground invasion.

Should Israel delay the ground invasion until he can get more hostages out? Yes.

The President and the U.S. do not want to be directing the Israelis.

there was no higher priority for him than securing the release of these American hostages.

The President has been asking hard questions.
