President Joe Biden on Thursday pledged to provide support to Israelis and Palestinians following the announcement of a mutual ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group.

Biden said during a press conference that the United States will replenish Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, which helped destroy Hamas rockets fired into the Jewish nation. He also said that his administration will work with the Palestinian Authority, which lost rule of the Gaza Strip to Hamas in the Gaza War of 2008-2009, to provide humanitarian relief for the people of Gaza and Gaza reconstruction efforts.
