White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is set to hold the daily press briefing Thursday afternoon.
The briefing follows a roundtable discussion, hosted Wednesday by President Biden at the White House, involving Jewish leaders, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, homeland security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall, domestic policy adviser Neera Tanden and senior adviser on public engagement Steve Benjamin — amid the fallout of terrorist attacks against Israel over the weekend.
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish and has led the administration’s public efforts to fight antisemitism, also attended the roundtable discussion and delivered remarks.
The White House event comes after Biden declared the U.S.’s steadfast support for Israel after attacks by the militant group Hamas killed more than 1,000 Israelis.
On Tuesday, Biden condemned the attacks as “abhorrent” and vowed the U.S. would have Israel’s back.
The event is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. EDT.
