In the Middle East, we're standing with Israel in its efforts to ensure what happened on October 7th never happens again...

The need for U.S. global leadership--and cooperation with allies and partners--has never been greater.

We have impressed upon Israel time and again the imperative of really bringing a determined focus to this.
