A remarkable joint statement by the United States, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom regarding the depraved terrorism of Hamas. We must first defeat evil and then plant the seeds of peace, security, and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians. 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇬🇧

The UN says that 9 of its staff have been killed in Gaza since the Hamas terror attack in Israel on Saturday and the retaliatory Israeli air strikes that followed. nbcnews.com/news/world/liv…

idk how I didn’t notice this but bro look at the ref running 4.2 40 speed 😭😭😭
