Sec. Austin: ‘Israel Has a Duty to Defend Itself’

EXCERPT:

AUSTIN: “As President Biden has said, for any country, for any organization, for anyone thinking about trying to take advantage of the agony in Israel, to try to widen this conflict or to try to spill more blood, we have just one word: Don't. Additional U.S. military aid to Israel started flowing in yesterday, including key munitions. And we'll be providing more Iron Dome interceptors so that Israel can protect its citizens and cities. And we'll continue to ensure that Israel has what it needs to keep itself and its citizens safe. Like any other country, Israel has the right to defend itself. As the president says, Israel has a duty to defend itself.”
