Our coverage of the israel hamas war continues now. It is 1 00 a. M. Local time there. You can see in its fourth day what it looks like in this war. We also lead our coverage by telling you back here in america, President Biden made his most thorough remarks on this war to date, releasing the news that the u. S. Has confirmed hamas has taken americans hostage in those surprise Terrorist Attacks. The president did not say how many. He did confirm hamas killed 14 americans there in those attacks, and he went on to condemn what he calls pure, Unadulterated Evil. You know, there are moments in this life i mean this literally when the pure Unadulterated Evil is unleashed in this world. Its abhorrent. The brutality of hamas, the bloodthirstiness brings to mind the worst rampage of isis. This is terrorism. The president s comparison there to isis is deliberate. The president is telling americans that hamas is acting like one of the worst modern enemies the u. S. Or modern world has ever faced
The continent of africa that the u. S. Wants to tout about u. S. Investment. More than 24 hours have passed since Major General Harold Greene was tragically killed in that attack in afghanistan. The president hasnt commented on it yet. Josh earnest did react. One reason the white house doesnt want, to you know, slight anyone who loses a life in afghanistan, all of our troops who serve bravely and lose their lives are important. You dont want to highlight one death. This was a major situation not just with major Harold Greene being killed bath dozen americans being wounded. I would anticipate if the president doesnt mention that in his Opening Statement it might be something hes pressed on. Because beyond this one terror attack the question remains whether hell shift strategy at all at the end of this year. Hes expected to leave behind 9800 u. S. Troops in afghanistan and given whats happened in iraq right now and the violence there and isis, trying to move closer and closer to baghdad
