The somber anniversary comes as Israel 's fighting in Lebanon and Gaza continues, and days after Iran launched a missile attack into Tel AvivPresident Joe Biden released a statement early Monday, the day that marks one year since the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hamas killed more than 1,200 Israel is and kidnapped more than 250 people in an attack on Israel that sparked a year-long war in Gaza.
The October 7th attack brought to the surface painful memories left by millennia of hatred and violence against the Jewish people. That is why, soon after the attack, I became the first American President to visit Israel in a time of war. I made clear then to the people of Israel: you are not alone. One year later, Vice President Harris and I remain fully committed to the safety of the Jewish people, the security of Israel, and its right to exist.
Today and every day, I think of the hostages and their families. I have met the families of the hostages and grieved with them. They have been through hell. My Administration has negotiated for the safe release of more than 100 hostages, including Americans. We will never give up until we bring all of the remaining hostages home safely.
