"White House Condemns RNC Chief's 'Hideous' Israel Comments Amid Biden's Absence"

The White House criticized Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel for her comments suggesting that the recent attacks in Israel presented a "great opportunity" for GOP candidates to showcase their foreign policy leadership. White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates condemned McDaniel's remarks as "hideous behavior" and emphasized the need for unity. The RNC accused liberal critics of distorting McDaniel's words and defended their longstanding support for Israel. President Biden, who has expressed unwavering support for Israel, has not made any public appearances since Saturday's terrorist attacks.
