The president making clear the US does not want to get involved in direct conflict with Russia over Ukraine.

As president, there is no higher priority for me than the safety of Americans held hostage.

Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people. Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields, and innocent Palestinian families are suffering greatly because of them.

The terrorist group Hamas unleashed pure unadulterated evil in the world.

I refuse to let that happen.

The actions of Hamas terrorists don't take that right away.

The security package I'm sending to Congress and asking Congress to do is an unprecedented commitment to Israel's security that will sharpen Israel's qualitative military edge.

Let me be clear about something. We send Ukraine equipment sitting in our stockpiles.

He agreed that what he would do is open the gate to do two things. One, let up to 20 trucks through to begin with.

I can understand why in this circumstance, they wouldn't believe. I can understand that. I'm not suggesting that Hamas literally did it either, and it's not the first time Hamas has launched something that malfunctioned.

the U.S. will be giving $100 million for humanitarian assistance and that Israel has agreed to allow food, water, medicine, through the Rafah Gate -- through the Rafah Border Crossing into southern Gaza

Based on the information we've seen to date, it appears as a result of an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza.

I can understand why this circumstance they wouldn't meet. I can understand that.

I understand and many Americans understand, you can't look at what has happened here to your mothers, your fathers, your grandparents, sons, daughters, children, even babies, and not scream out for justice. Justice must be done.

this battle, Erin, between democracy and autocracy will be the defining battle of this century.

I agreed to allow about 20 -- up to 20 was the president's phrasing -- humanitarian trucks into Gaza.

he is going to be even more emphatic about that than before.

I'm saddened and outraged by the attack, and that I've directed my National Security team, to keep looking at new information, as it comes in.
