I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday.

And based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.

But there's a lot of people out there who are not sure.

So we've got to overcome a lot of things.

Look folks, I wanted to be here today for a simple reason.

I wanted the people of Israel, the people of the world, to know where the United States stands.

I've had my great Secretary of State here.

But I wanted to personally come and make that clear.

You know, Americans are grieving with you.

Americans are worried because we know there's a — this is not an easy field to navigate, what you have to do.

But the fact is that Israel, as they respond to these attacks, seems to me that they have to continue to ensure that you have what you need to defend yourselves.

And we're going to make sure that occurs, as you know.

And we have to also bear in mind that Hamas does not represent all the Palestinian people.

I want to say to the people of Israel, their courage, their commitment, their bravery is stunning.

They really are. And Americans are worried. Americans are worried because we know there's a — this is not an easy field to navigate, what you have to do. But the fact is that Israel, as they respond to these attacks, seems to me that they have to continue to ensure that you have what you need to defend yourselves. And we're going to make sure that occurs, as you know.

And we have to also bear in mind that Hamas does not represent all the Palestinian people. And it has brought them only suffering. I want to say to the people of Israel, their courage, their commitment, their bravery is stunning. It's really stunning. I'm proud to be here.
