The televised remarks, delivered at 8 p.m. ET, were the second prime-time Oval Office address of Biden's presidency. In his speech, the president also made the case for more aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia.

"Hamas and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: they both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy, completely annihilate it," Biden said.

He went on to say that the U.S. should continue to aid Israel and Ukraine, pointing to the U.S.' leadership abroad and announcing plans to "send to Congress an urgent budget request to fund America’s national security needs – needs to support our critical partners, including Israel and Ukraine."

The president called it a "smart investment that’s gonna pay dividends for American security for generations."

Biden used the address to drum up support from Americans and lawmakers about expected funding requests for the conflict in Israel, which comes as the Biden administration and Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine for the war there.

The Biden Administration is currently drafting a $100 billion foreign-aid package, which will include $10 billion in assistance for Israel, sources told ABC News earlier.
