WASHINGTON — US
President Joe Biden said on Saturday that "This is not a moment for any
party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks," adding "The world
is watching."

His remarks
appear to have been pointing to Iran and Hezbollah.
He said the
US was coordinating with regional leaders.
Biden said
that "The United States stands with the people of Israel in the face of
these terrorist assaults," adding that "Israel has the right to
defend itself and its people. Full stop."
I
personally am going to remain in close contact with Prime Minister Netanyahu as
this situation continues to develop. And let there be no mistake: The United
States stands with the State of Israel. Just as we have from the moment the
United States became the first nation to recognize Israel 11 minutes after its
founding, 75 years ago."
Biden made
no mention of ongoing Israeli attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip or of the
month-long provocations by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and the
recent incursions of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Ibrahimi Mosque.
Earlier,
Netanyahu said Biden told him in a call that the US is in complete support of
Israel's right to self-defense.
