WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden plans to travel to Israel on Wednesday in a dramatic display of support for the U.S. ally as his administration seeks to prevent the Israel-Hamas war from expanding into a larger Middle East conflict.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is currently in Tel Aviv, announced Biden's visit following an overnight meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"He's coming here at a critical moment for Israel, for the region and for the world," Blinken said.
Thank you Joe!
"President Biden will underscore our crystal-clear message to any actor, state, or non-state trying to take advantage of this crisis to attack Israel. Don't," Blinken said.
Biden has publicly warned other parties hostile to Israel – terrorist groups and other nations - not to use the Israel-Hamas War as a moment to interfere and expand the conflict.
Biden singled out Iran by name last week, saying he “made it clear to the Iranians: Be careful.”
