President Biden announced that at least 14 Americans have been killed amid the Israel-Hamas war since it began on Saturday morning.
"There are moments in this life, I mean this literally, when the pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world," Biden said during a speech on Tuesday afternoon.
"The people of Israel live through one such moment this weekend," he added. "The bloody hands of the terrorist organization Hamas, a group who stated purpose for being is to kill Jews, which was an act of sheer evil."
