Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy engaged in a heated debate with White House national security spokesperson John Kirby regarding President Joe Biden’s recent declaration of “unwavering support” for Israel.
President Biden reaffirmed his support for Israel in the wake of a brutal terror attack by Hamas on October 7, which resulted in the tragic deaths of over 1,160 individuals. The president’s stance has sparked criticism from within his own party, with some members calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and raising concerns about potential repercussions for Biden in the 2024 election.
During the exchange, Doocy challenged Kirby’s assertion that the president’s position on Israel remains unchanged.
“On October 7, President Biden said ‘My administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering.’ That is not true anymore, correct?” Doocy asked.
“No, that is true,” Kirby answered. “Still true today.”
“How is his support unwavering, but you’re also reconsidering policy choices?” Doocy pressed.]
