The U.S. and the four most powerful countries in Europe released a joint statement on Monday afternoon expressing strong support for Israel and its war against those responsible for the recent terror attacks in the country.

The statement was released from President Joe Biden, President Macron of France, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Sunak of the United Kingdom.

“We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned,” the statement said.
“There is never any justification for terrorism. In recent days, the world has watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a music festival, and kidnapped elderly women, children, and entire families, who are now being held as hostages.”

Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic terrorist organization, launched thousands of rockets into Israel early Saturday morning and simultaneously overran Israel’s border defenses as they proceeded to massacre soldiers who were caught off guard. The terrorists then massacred hundreds at an outdoor festival and hunted Jews door to door in scenes reminiscent of what the Nazis did during the Holocaust.

All told, more than 900 Israelis were murdered, a figure that is expected to continue rising, and more than 2,600 were injured. Dozens more were kidnapped by the terrorists and brought back to Gaza.

The statement said that the countries would support Israel’s military efforts to defend itself from further attacks.

“We further emphasize that this is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage,” the statement continued.

The leaders then claimed the there were “legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people” and that they supported “equal measures of justice and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike.”

“But make no mistake: Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing for the Palestinian people other than more terror and bloodshed,” the said. “Over the coming days, we will remain united and coordinated, together as allies, and as common friends of Israel, to ensure Israel is able to defend itself, and to ultimately set the conditions for a peaceful and integrated Middle East region.”

A new report from Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee found that over 99% of illegal immigrants released into the U.S. from January 2021 to March 2023 under President Joe Biden ended up staying in the U.S. 

The report, from the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, details how little deportations have taken place under Biden and says that few of those released into the U.S. were actually screened for persecution claims. The report said the total number of illegal immigrants released into the U.S. during the time in question was 2,148,738 and that over 204,000 were released through “illegal categorical parole programs.”

“Thanks to relentless efforts by the Committee and its Immigration Subcommittee, Biden’s DHS has finally caved and provided crucial data on the border crisis,” the House Judiciary Committee posted on X. 

🚨 NEW: Chairman @Jim_Jordan and @RepMcClintock release a bombshell report on the Biden Border Crisis, exposing shocking data.

More than 99% of illegal aliens released by the Biden Administration between Jan 20, 2021, and Mar 31, 2023, remain in America.

The report, called  “The Biden Border Crisis: New Data and Testimony Show How the Biden Administration Opened the Southwest Border and Abandoned Interior Immigration Enforcement,” was released by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA). 

“Between January 20, 2021, and March 31, 2023, the Biden Administration has removed from the United States only 5,993 illegal aliens who were encountered at the southwest border and who were placed in removal proceedings before an immigration judge during that time. In other words, of the at least 2.1 million aliens released into the United States since January 20, 2021, the Biden Administration has failed to remove, through immigration court removal proceedings, roughly 99.7 percent of those illegal aliens,” the report said. 

The Republicans said that the statistics provided to them by the Department of Homeland Security indicated that “there is virtually no enforcement of our immigration laws.” 

The report added that a great number of individuals who had been labeled asylum seekers by DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas had not been screened for whether they actually faced persecution or not. According to lawmakers, the amount of illegal immigrants screened for persecution for asylum was only six percent.

“Even the Biden Administration has previously acknowledged the loophole of the low credible fear standard, as it incentivizes mass illegal immigration into the United States by aliens whose claims most likely will ultimately be denied because they are economic migrants and not asylum seekers fleeing persecution,” the report said. 

The numbers do not include a flood that game around the expiration of Title 42 in May and other recent surges at the border.
