Israeli politicians thank Biden for his steadfast support during Gaza onslaught

The Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, who faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for possible war crimes committed in Gaza, thanked the US President Joe Biden for his “unwavering support of Israel over the years.”

“Your steadfast backing, especially during the war, has been invaluable,” he adds. “We are grateful for your leadership and friendship.”

President Isaac Herzog thanked Biden for his “friendship and steadfast support” for Israel throughout his long political career.

“As the first US President to visit Israel in wartime, as a recipient of the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor, and as a true ally of the Jewish people, he is a symbol of the unbreakable bond between our two peoples,” Herzog writes on X.

“I send him, Jill Biden, and all his family, my warmest wishes from Jerusalem,” he adds.
