Former US President Barack Obama broke his silence on the Israel-Hamas conflict, expressing support for Israel's right to defend itself while advocating for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians. Obama condemned the terrorist attacks and stood with Israel, emphasizing the need for peace. Bill Clinton remained silent but Hillary Clinton voiced support for Israel, praying for victims and affirming firm US backing. Other living former presidents - Donald Trump, George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter - or their organizations also denounced the attacks. Obama and Hillary Clinton voiced solidarity with Israel while stressing the importance of achieving peace, as all recent former presidents except Bill Clinton condemned the assault.
