The meeting between President Isaac Herzog and U.S. President Joe Biden began at the White House in Washington on Tuesday evening. Herzog discussed in the meeting the 101 hostages who have been held in the Gaza Strip for over 400 days, and referred to Iran and its proxies as an "empire of evil, where Tehran with its proxies, they're doing whatever they can to erase stability and security and peace, calling for the annihilation of the State of Israel and seeking nuclear weapons." Herzog also thanked Biden for his support for Israel: "We will never forget, ever, in history how you stood up with us in our darkest hour, which became our finest hour, how you came to Israel a few days after the barbaric attack of October 7th, how you helped us and supported us with words and deeds." Herzog also called for the return of the hostages from Gaza. Biden replied: "I agree. My commitment to Israel is unquestionable, you don't have to be Jewish to be a Zionist."
