Allowing Russia to prevail, with Iran's support, will simply embolden both Moscow and Iran.

Turning our backs on their efforts would have lasting implications for our own security and our own standing in the world.

The President and I both stressed in our conversations with the Israeli government the need for Israel to operate by the law of war and in accordance with international humanitarian law and to take all possible measures to avoid civilian…

As President Biden has made clear from the outset, while Israel has the right, indeed it has the obligation to defend itself, the way it does so matters.

America does not stand alone. We have built extraordinary coalitions with friends, who carry their share of the burden.

That humanitarian law requires that there be unfettered humanitarian assistance.

We built a coalition of more than 50 countries to help deal with the aggression that Putin is committing in Ukraine.

There has never been a time in my own experience where we have had greater unity of purpose, greater unity of action.

The President himself has been very clear, very direct, and very explicit about our concerns about extreme settler violence.

We have urge the Israelis, for example, to provide the authority with the resources that it needs that are being held back.

If the regime has, in fact, violated the agreement that it reached, then of course we will take the necessary action.

We are committed to making sure that Ukraine has what it needs to be--to defend its sovereign territory.

We are very aggressively engaged in cracking down on financing and support for Hamas.

Let us be very clear about this because it is important.

We have sanctioned more than 400 Iranian individuals or entities for things like supporting Hamas.

We cannot have a reversion of the status quo with Hamas running Gaza.

Ultimately though, beyond that is what we come back to, what this administration believes, which is the imperative of getting to two states for two peoples.

I share that concern.

We should work with other countries and enforce every reasonable measure to make sure that the migratory flow is safe, orderly, and humane.

Putin is very much trying to take advantage of the Hamas attack on Israel in the hopes that it will distract us...

I think it would do both terrible harm to our values, but also to our core interests.

This is an instance where we have seen very significant burden sharing that would almost certainly go away if we go away.

The elements of this request work together as a package.

Russia could stop this, but it does not.

We're standing up for our interests and values--not shrinking back.
