Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy, who recently announced that he plans to abandon his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination and run as an independent, promised that, as president, he would enact policies that would deter Israel’s enemies from attacking the Jewish state.
“I applaud the strong statements of support from the Biden White House for Israel in her hour of need,” he said in a Saturday statement.

“However, the scale of these attacks means it is likely that Israel will need to wage a sustained military campaign to protect its citizens. Statements of support are fine, but we must follow through with unwavering, resolute, and practical action.”
The independent presidential candidate asserted that Americans must continue supporting Israel as the nation exercises its right to self-defense.
As The Times of Israel reported Monday, additional rocket strikes pounded Israeli communities following Israel’s counterattack against the Hamas terror group in Gaza and formal declaration of war. In response to Israel’s counterstrikes, Hamas has threatened that it will start executing hostages.
The IDF’s Home Front Command is also warning Israelis to ensure they have an adequate supply of food and water and to review the location of their nearest bomb shelter.
