Former President Barack Obama instructs 'All Americans' on rage and grief
[MAIL] Former President Barack Obama issued a statement about the Hamas terror attacks on Israel 72 hours after they first occurred.Early Monday evening, a statement was released on Obama's X (formerly Twitter) account condemning the violence that has left some 900 Israelis dead and thousands injured. 'All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians,' wrote the 44th president. 'We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. 'As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike,' he concluded. The Obama Administration had an infamously rocky relationship with the US's closest ally. President Obama himself and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were not close, and there was tension over the brokerage of the Iran nuclear deal - a passion project of Obama's team.
