Kirby: Pres. Biden’s Message to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu After Iran’s Attack Was ‘We’re with You’

EXCERPT:

KIRBY: "The main message was, 'We're with you.' You know, he congratulated the prime minister on an extraordinary achievement and success last night, but also to reiterate that the United States is going to continue to help Israel defend itself. That's a commitment going back many, many administrations, and the president believes wholeheartedly in it. And obviously, the president was interested in getting the prime minister’s perspectives on what happened. I won't get ahead of what the prime minister and the war cabinet will or won't do, but the president and the prime minister had a good discussion largely about the extraordinary success of last night. Again, look, as I said earlier, the president has been very clear, publicly so. We don't seek a war with Iran. We don't seek escalated tensions in the region. We don't seek a wider conflict, and everything he's been doing literally since the 7th of October has been designed to that outcome."
