US President Joe Biden underlines that the United States unequivocally supports the Israeli occupation and says the response will be "swift" and "decisive".

US President Joe Biden on Tuesday called Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, launched by Hamas, and the actions carried out during it as "sheer evil" while completely disregarding all the actions taken by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians.

"There are moments in this life - I mean this literally - when a pure unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world," he said during a speech from the White House. "This is an act of sheer evil."

Biden still failed to mention that the Israeli occupation was brutally killing civilians, using white phosphorus, and bombing religious sites and schools where people typically seek refuge in times of war.

He underlined that the United States would support the Israeli occupation "today, tomorrow, as we always have."

Biden revealed that he had talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the situation in occupied Palestine, wherein he voiced his support for the Israeli occupation.

"I just got off the phone with a third call with Prime Minister Netanyahu," he said. "I told him, in the United States and Israel's experience. Our response will be swift, decisive, and overwhelming."

Preparing for action?

"The United States has also enhanced our military force posture in the region to strengthen our deterrence," the US President revealed after his administration - and that of all US presidents before him - refused to grant aid to the Palestinians or force the Israeli occupation's hand to stop seizing more land and undermine Palestine.

"The Department of Defense has moved the USS Jr. Ford carrier strike group from the eastern Mediterranean and bolstered our fighter aircraft presence. We stand ready to move in additional assets as needed," he revealed after his administration pledged to send the naval vessel to help the Israeli occupation. 

"Let me say again, to any country, any organization, anyone thinking of taking advantage of the situation. I have one word, don't. Don't. Our hearts may be broken, but our resolve is clear," he stressed, possibly responding to the statements that came out of Iraq and Yemen, to name a few, regarding offering help to Palestine.

The Yemeni people are ready to do everything in their power to fulfill their sacred duty of standing by the Palestinian people, the Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said during a speech commenting on the latest developments in occupied Palestine.

"Our people are ready to mobilize in the hundreds of thousands and join the Palestinian people to confront the enemy, and we will not hesitate to do whatever is possible," he added.

There are red lines when it comes to the situation unfolding in Gaza, and there is coordination between the Axis of Resistance, he said. "We are coordinating with the Axis of Resistance, and if the Americans make a direct military intervention, we are ready to participate, even with missile strikes and drone strikes."

"It is a duty to support the Palestinians with everything in our possession, and it is not permissible for this nation to stand by while Western countries help the criminal enemy," Sayyed al-Houthi stressed.

Moreover, Sayyed al-Shuhadaa Brigades of Iraq warned Monday Washington against any interference in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

According to Lebanese news outlet Al-Ahed, the group stressed that "Palestine is not Ukraine" and that any interference or support the US extends to the Israeli entity would make US bases in the region targets for the Resistance. 

The Group expressed that any support would be met with retaliation and zero red lines would remain uncrossed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Monday to "change the Middle East" in "Israel's" war on Gaza, as the occupation launches continuous airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

Biden support 'Israel'

Biden on Sunday previously affirmed that the United States supports "Israel" and is committed to providing the necessary aid to ensure its continued aggression against the Palestinian Resistance.

"The United States stands with "Israel." We will not ever fail to have their back, we will make sure that they have the help their citizens need, and they can continue to defend themselves," Biden said during a press conference.

Biden further stated that he instructed his national security team to establish communication and cooperation channels between the US and Israeli counterparts, "military to military, intelligence to intelligence to diplomat to diplomat to make sure Israel has what it needs."
