strongly defended ******* on Monday, saying ******** forces are not committing genocide in their military campaign against ****** militants in Gaza in a rejection of criticism from pro-************ protesters.

“What’s happening in Gaza is not genocide. We ******* that,” Biden said at a ******* ********* Heritage Month event at the White House.

Biden has faced protests at many of his events around the country from pro-************ advocates who have labeled him “Genocide Joe” for his steadfast support for *******.

In remarks at the White House event, Biden stressed his belief that ******* was the victim dating back to the Oct. 7 ******* on southern ******* by ****** militants who ******* 1,200 people and took hundreds of hostages.

He said U.S. support for the safety and security of Israelis is “ironclad.”

“We stand with ******* to take out (****** leader Yahya) Sinwar and the rest of the butchers of ******. We want ****** defeated. We’re working with ******* to make that happen,” he said.

Negotiations have stalled between ******* and ****** in trying to gain the freedom of *****, elderly and wounded hostages still held by the militants, but Biden vowed not to give up trying to gain their release.

“We’re going to get them home, we’re going to get ’em home, come ***** or high water,” Biden said.

Biden has also called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, something that he reiterated in his commencement speech at Morehouse College on Sunday

Biden also rejected the International ********* Court’s prosecutor for saying he had requested arrest warrants for ******** Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense chief over alleged war *******.

The ICC prosecutor on Monday also said he requested arrest warrants for ****** chief Sinwar and two other ****** leaders.

Biden in recent months has faced growing political pressure from his own party over his handling of the Gaza conflict, as the ************ ****** toll climbed to more than 35,000 people, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and *******’s siege has created dire humanitarian conditions in the territory.
