2:13 pm
to be an enemy of civilization. people the best securing of young people in and outdoor music festival. the murder of parents in front of their children and the murder of children in front of their parents. the burning of people alive, the headings, the kidnappings of a young boy. not only kid, the more or less the are attacked. and the 2nd in display of celebrating these har as the celebration and glorification of evil. president barton was absolutely correct in calling this sheer evil come us is isis
2:14 pm
and just as isis was crushed, so 2 will come, must be crushed. and from us should be treated exactly the way isis was treated. they should be spit out from the community of nations. no leader should meet the no country should harbor them. and those that do should be sanctioned. tony, my friend, i say to you, i say to all of us, there will be many difficult days ahead. but i have no doubt that the forces of civilization will win. and the reason that's true is because we understand what is the 1st prerequisite a victory, is what you just said in our meeting. moral clarity. this is
2:15 pm
a time a particular time, a special time that we must stand tall, proud and united against you. tony, you are taking that stand. america is taking that stand. thank you for being here today. thank you. america for standing with israel today. tomorrow and always is the prime minister, and i'm grateful to be back in israel in this incredibly difficult moment for this nation. but in fact, for the entire world. if you'll permit me um personal aside, i come before you. not only as the united states secretary state,
2:16 pm
but also as a jew, my grandfather always pointed, fled programs in russia. my step father, samuel, these are survived concentration caps, auschwitz, doc. com, my daughter. so prime minister, i understand. on a personal level, the harrowing echo is the mazda is masters, carry for israeli jews. indeed, for jews everywhere else will come before you as a husband and father of young children. it's impossible for me to look at the photos of families killed as such as the mother father and 3 small children murdered, as they sheltered in their home into boats near us. and not think of
2:17 pm
my own show. this was just one from mazda is countless acts of terror in a litany, a boot tally, and then humanity. then yes, brings to mind the worst devices to be slaughtered. bodies desecrated young people burned to live. women raped parents executed in front of their children. children in front of their parents. how are we even to understand this to digest this and yet at the same time, the same time that we've been shocked by the depravity of from us. we've also been inspired by the bravery of israel citizens. the grandfather who drove over an hour
2:18 pm
to a cubits under siege, armed only with a pistol and rescued his kids and grandkids. the mother who died shielding for teenage son with her body, giving her life to save his, giving him life for a 2nd time. volunteer security teams on the keyboards is swiftly, riley to defend their friends and neighbors. despite being heavily outnumbered and were lifted by the remarkable solidarity. these really people demonstrated in the long lives of people keeping blood in the hundreds of thousands of reservists have mobilized some rushing home from abroad. people around the country opening their homes to fellow citizens displaced themselves. people whose real has long and rightly prided themselves on their self reliance on their ability to defend
2:19 pm
themselves, even when the odds are stacked against the message that i bring israel is this. you may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself. but as long as america exists, you will never ever have to. we will always be there by your side. that's the message that president biden delivered to the prime minister from the moment. this price is began. is the message that i and my other colleagues and the government have delivered to ours really, counterparts on a daily, even an hourly basis. so message that i bring with me to our discussions today and it's what all the for. and when i meet with the members of israel's newly formed national emergency government, we welcome the government's creation and the unity and resolved that it reflects across israel society we're delivering on our we're supplying ammunition
2:20 pm
interceptors to replenish is roles are in don't alongside other defense material for shipments of us military support have already arrived at israel and more is on the way as israel's defense needs evolve. we will work with congress to make sure that they're met. and i can tell you, there is overwhelming, overwhelming by part of support our congress for his real security here in his room and everywhere. we will reaffirm the crystal clear warning, the president biden issued yesterday to any adversary, state or non state. thinking of taking advantage of the current crisis to attack israel. don't. united states has israel's back. we before the world's largest aircraft carrier to the eastern mediterranean, we bolstered the presence of us fighter aircraft in the region. we're providing other support as well. we continue working closely with israel to secure the
2:21 pm
release of the men, women, children, elderly people, taken hostage by a mouse for pursuing intensive diplomacy throughout the region to prevent the conflict from spreading. and i'll be doing that over the course of my trip in the coming days. too often in the past. leaders have equivocated in the face of the terrorist attacks against israel and its people. that's why we've been adamant with all countries in the wake of these attacks. there is no excuse. there is no justification for these are trust you heard the prime minister say it. this is, this must be a moment for moral fired. failure to unambiguously condemn terrorism puts it risk not only people and his real, but people everywhere. look at what just happens. individuals for 36
2:22 pm
countries chill or missing in the aftermath of some us attacks. europe, asia, africa, the america's no region has escaped. mazda is buddy reach, anyone who wants peace and justice, must condemn a mazda is reign of terror. we know from us, doesn't represent the past indian people, or their legitimate aspirations, to live with equal measures of security, freedom, justice, opportunity, and dignity. we know from us instead of promoting the wellbeing of the citizens roles, repressive, and dedicates the resources it has to tear tunnels and rockets. we know from us didn't commit attain this tax with the interest of palestinian people in mind. we know from us does not stand for the future. the palestinians want for themselves and for their children must as only one agend to destroy israel
2:23 pm
and to murder views. no country can or would tolerate the slaughter that citizens or simply return to the conditions that allowed it to take place is real, has the right indeed the obligation to defend itself and to ensure that this never happens again. so the prime minister and i discussed how is real does this matters . we democracies distinguished ourselves from terrace by striving for a different standard, even when it's difficult and holding ourselves to account when we fall short, our humanity, the value that we place on human life, and human dignity, that's what makes us who we are. and we count them among our greatest strengths. that's why it's so important to take every possible precaution to avoid finding civilians. and that's why the more and the loss of every innocent life civilians of
2:24 pm
every face. every nationality have been killed. tragically, the number of innocent lives find by a mazda sanders attacks continues to rise among those, we now know that at least 25 american citizens were killed. we joined families in israel and the united states around the world. in morning, their immeasurable loss. nearly 15 years ago, my step father i looted to earlier samuel these are came here to the ship to perform the mourners prayer that he wrote to accompany leonard bernstein, his 3rd symphony cottage reflecting on the unspeakable horrors that he had endured as a boy, the nazi concentration camps, he wrote that man so created in your image and endowed with the freedom to choose between good and evil,
2:25 pm
remains capable of the worst. as of the best of hatred. as of love. a madness of genius. in this moment were evil, hatred and madness. at once more taken so many of us in lives, we must stand together, resolved to confront what is worst among humanity. with what is best. we must provide an alternative to the vision of violence and fear, nihilism, inter presented by a moss. and that is what the united states will do. standing with israel working together with his people. and all those in this region remain committed to the vision of a more peaceful, more integrated, more secure, and more prosperous,
2:26 pm
middle east. thank you very much. united states standing with israel, the message of support from the us secretary of state antony blinking, who was visiting tennessee today. he said, we will be by your side, always be by your side to these really prime minister after the recent events, the masa taco on israel on saturday, which was followed by israel declaring war on him, off the prime minister of israel for his part saying that he think americans for their support to the people of israel and said he was determined to beat the evil forces one way or another, comparing him off once again to ices, which you've heard a lot in the past 6 days and said how i should be treated like isis was treated last spring and been in monks in tennessee for us. so been, and we heard back from both leaders from antony, blinking and,
2:27 pm
and the for an apartment is sort of israel. he, they've met but they're more meetings i understand between blinking and he's really need to talk to us about his schedule and what the us is hoping to achieve during the space. there's a deep personal set of reflections included in that speech by and they've been come to us is told diplomat. he will be meeting with a large a group called is randy officials in the coming minutes. i expect that would involve some members of netanyahu's happening also subsequently meeting with benny guns, the form of defense minister and of course has not joined to them but the government em together with nothing. yahoo, it is defense minister us go on, will be integral to the prosecution of this conflict. the israel is now invest in one the striking element of that speech made very, very clear by blinking was the need for israel to follow
2:28 pm
a possible precautions to avoid civilian casualties. something we've unfortunately seen several, several hundreds of times over the course. the last few days inside cause i imagine not will be an issue that the united states stays focused on the coming days of week. sounds like so many of them as well in terms of his schedule. following those conversations with members of the cabinet, he will then be meeting with the is really president, is our code. so also here in tel aviv before traveling to meet with some family members of us citizens who are currently either missing full cap cap to inside garza, it's ok william for the moment. thank you very much. let's bring in august. now tommy, a comm mode has professor of public policy at doha, as institute for graduate studies, especially from conflict resolution and international aid time it has been in my correspondence said that we heard a very um,
2:29 pm
personal statement from the us secretary of state of the personal statement and very emotive, language being used by both leaders by both mission, yahoo and blinking. what do you make of this? uh, what it's good for them. i mean, but for me, what i see if it's a very inferior anything speech. and that's how it is outside of this respect to human value, human rights, the chance of people to be treated equally low, single mentioning of the is $1300.00 civilians by laws, the, the that are being met, old, where the mexicans and guys and, and the, the continuous mode now investigating happening and goes a total disregard for the other side of the story. a speech full of misinformation. uh, not a tips that you cannot substance support with any evidence. yeah, we can be heard again. yeah. i guess you would see things that we've been here in the past few days is really babies, exactly to,
2:30 pm
to be headed into on. but there's been no proof of any of this information was just coming from of israel and he's right of the soul. who is the god of the ends of democracies of this beautiful globe. we live in uh, kind of prove it. i would say the best way to move it to tax, but you have it at the national court of justice. bring the court of justice. let us investigate across appears on both sides. but the thing is that open for this. they said there is for bill for this one of the independent you on budget and give it them and they to come and investigate. not only this was everything from a to z and then present that support to the national community. and they are so keen about the spectacle human lives for, for everyone. not for these of 8 is as we said now. then the dispatcher, he did mention towards the end of his speech blinking that civilian lives had to be preserved on both sides. please. the men.
