President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet on Wednesday that the United States “stands firmly and resolutely with Israel” following a recent wave of attacks in which 11 people died in a week.
During the phone call, Biden expressed his “deepest condolences” and said that “the United States stands firmly and resolutely with Israel in the face of this terrorist threat and all threats to the State of Israel,” while offering “all appropriate assistance,” according to a White House reading.
On Tuesday, at least five people were killed in armed attacks in a city near Tel Aviv.
Residents of Bnei Brak, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish city, and neighbouring Ramat Gan reported that an individual opened fire from his car on passers-by before being killed by the police.
The security force did not divulge his identity, although Israeli media reported that a Palestinian from the occupied West Bank, who had spent four years in Israeli prisons, was linked to the attack. According to these media, her name was Diaa Hamarshah.
