- In his Wednesday speech to Jewish community leaders, President Joe Biden provided a graphic picture of the tragedies of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
- “I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children,” Biden said in broader remarks about his administration’s support for Israel amid its war with Hamas and efforts to free American hostages.
- A spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that toddlers and babies were found in Kfar Aza, a kibbutz in southern Israel, with their “heads decapitated” after Hamas’ attack over the weekend, CNN reported.
- Biden also discussed how the U.S. is sending experts to “advise and assist with recovery efforts” regarding hostages held by Hamas, but did not go into specifics on strategy.
- “I have not given up hope of bringing these folks home. But the idea that I’m going to stand here before you and tell you what I’m doing is bizarre,” the president said.
- The confirmed U.S. death toll in the war rose to at least 22, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing before the roundtable. Seventeen Americans remain unaccounted for, she said.
