Quote: "I know these conflicts can seem far away. It’s natural to ask: Why does this matter to America?

Israel and Ukraine’s success is vital to our national security. History has taught us that when terrorists and dictators don’t pay a price, they cause more death and destruction."

Background:

  • Some 20.3 million people watched US President Joe Biden's prime-time speech on Thursday night, in which he spoke about aid for Israel and Ukraine during the war.
