United States President Joe Biden stated on Thursday (Friday morning in Lisbon) that both the militants of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, which is attacking Israel, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is invading Ukraine, are trying to “destroy” democracies. .
“Hamas and Putin pose different threats, but they have something in common: They both want to completely destroy a neighboring democracy,” Biden said in an address to the nation from the Oval Office of the White House.
The US president also urged Congress to approve emergency military aid to Israel and Ukraine, arguing it would advance the security of the United States “for generations.”
“It’s a smart investment that will pay off for American security for generations. It will help keep American troops out of harm’s way. It will help build a safer, more peaceful, and more prosperous world for our children and grandchildren,” said Joe Biden.
