Doug and I are gathering in the White House to celebrate Hanukkah, the timeless story of miracles.
Tonight, we are reminded to hold on to the miracles of hope and faith.
Because when we do, no night is so dark that we can’t find the light.

Israel Defense Forces soldiers standing on top of the ruins of Shejaia in the Gaza Strip holding signs bearing the names of all the Kibbutzim (communities) targeted on October 7th.
This act serves as a symbol of solidarity and honor for those affected by the attacks.
“My name is Samer Barham, I am an Arab speaking Israeli Christian. I am proud to belong to the Israel Defense Forces and to be a citizen of the State of Israel. I have no other homeland.
At the moment I am fighting next to my Jewish brothers and together, shoulder to shoulder, we defend our country, fighting for the sake of the Land of Israel. We will win this war and, Lord’s Willing, bring the hostages home safely.
Am Yisrael Hai”.

Today, the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah said something utterly preposterous. It denied that it was Hamas that carried out the horrible massacre at the nature festival near Gaza. It actually accused Israel of carrying out that massacre. This is a complete reversal of truth
Abu Mazen, who in the past has denied the existence of the Holocaust, today is denying the existence of the Hamas massacre and that's unacceptable.
My goal is that the day after we destroy Hamas, any future civil administration in Gaza does not deny the massacre, does not educate its children to become terrorists, does not pay for terrorists and does not tell its children that their ultimate goal in life is to see the destruction and dissolution of the State of Israel. That's not acceptable and that is not the way to achieve peace.
Folks, you know what I knew growing up: For too long, our economy hasn’t worked for working people.
I’m determined to build an economy from the middle out and the bottom up, instead of the top down.
Dear friends I’m alive.
Thank you so much for your prayers and care. It means the world to me and my wife. As you know, Israel is at war - I got drafted and had no contact with the outside world as we were fighting Hamas in Gaza. Please continue to pray for my nation, we are going through a tough season.
Dear enemies, I am not going anywhere. Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱
