"There is no justification for terrorism, no excuse. And the type of terrorism that was exhibited here was just beyond the pale," Biden said. "My commitment to Israel's security and the safety of Jewish people is unshakable. The United States has Israel's back and we're going to be working on this all through the day and beyond.”
The president said that he would speak more about the situation Wednesday afternoon when he attends a roundtable with Jewish leaders.
