The President of the United States of America (USA) Joseph Biden said last night that Israel has the right to defend itself against the rocket fire of the extremist Hamas and other Palestinian groups from the Gaza Strip.
After talking with outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said that his expectation and hope is that the conflicts will end as soon as possible.
"Israel has the right to defend itself when thousands of rockets fall on its territory," said Biden.
Dozens of people were killed in clashes between Israel and Palestinians, which renewed on Monday.
As Israel carries out airstrikes, Palestinians fire rockets into Israeli territory.
