Biden said that US support for Israel was “ironclad” during a Jewish heritage event where he also denied a genocide was taking place in Gaza.
"What's happening in Gaza is not genocide. We reject that,” Biden said.
He said the US was committed to hunting down Hamas's Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar.
“We stand with Israel to take out Sinwar and the rest of the butchers of Hamas. We want Hamas defeated. We're working with Israel to make that happen," he said.
MEE reported previously that the US is focused on tracking down Sinwar, in the hope it will help them push Israel declare to declare victory in Gaza and end to the war.
