Biden Pledges ‘Ironclad’ Commitment to Israel’s Security on Eve of Passover

U.S. President Joe Biden has reaffirmed his “ironclad” commitment to Israel’s security and “its right to exist as an independent Jewish state” on the eve of the Passover holiday.

“My commitment to the safety of the Jewish people, the security of Israel, and its right to exist as an independent Jewish state is ironclad,” the president said in a statement on April 21.

Passover is a Jewish holiday that marks the liberation of the Jews from Egyptian slavery. President Biden said that this year’s Passover falls particularly hard on families with loved ones still held captive by Hamas.

“My Administration is working around the clock to free the hostages, and we will not rest until we bring them home,” the president said.

“We are also working to establish an immediate and prolonged ceasefire in Gaza as a part of a deal that releases the hostages and delivers desperately needed humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians,” he added.
