We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself and respond to this attack,\u2019 Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There\u2019s no justification for terrorism. There\u2019s no excuse. Hamas does not stand for the Palestinian people\u2019s right to dignity and self-determination. Its stated purpose is the annihilation of the state of Israel and the murder of Jewish people,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n<p>Biden declared that Israel has a \u2018right\u2019 and a \u2018duty\u2019 to respond to the attacks and said the U.S. will \u2018make sure\u2019 the country has what it needs to fight back, including keeping its Iron Dome missile defense system operational.<\/p>\n<p>The president confirmed that 14 Americans have been killed in the attacks and that a number of others are being held hostage in Gaza. He added that the U.S. will work with its Israeli counterparts to safely free them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Let there be no doubt: The United States has Israel\u2019s back,\u2019 Biden said. \u2018We\u2019re with Israel.
