U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday described the fatal shooting of four Israelis in the West Bank as a senseless slaughter that will not stop the U.S. from seeking peace in the Middle East.
Obama spoke alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the two met privately at the White House on Wednesday.
"I did want to specifically take some time out to speak to the people of Israel and to the region about the senseless slaughter that took place near Hebron yesterday," Obama said.
"There are going to be extremists and rejectionists who, rather than seeking peace, are going to be seeking destruction, and the tragedy that we saw yesterday, where people were gunned down on the street by terrorists who are purposely trying to undermine these talks, is an example of what we're up against," Obama continued.
Obama expressed condolences from the American people to the families of the terror victims, and said that the U.S. is unwavering in its support of Israel's security.
"The United States is going to be unwavering in its support of Israel's security, and we are going to push back against these kinds of terrorist activities," said the president.
Obama also sent a message to Hamas, which claimed responsibility for the attack.
"This is not going to stop us from not only ensuring a secure Israel, but also securing a longer-lasting peace in which people throughout the region can take a different course," said Obama.

The victims of the Tuesday night terrorist attack near Hevron Yitzchak Imas, his wife Talia Imas, Kokhava Even-Chaim, and Avishai Shindler were buried Wednesday. The funeral procession began in Beit Chagai. As the town does not have its own cemetery, the burials were conducted in various cities around Israel.
Their daughter Rut eulogized them, saying, For 19 years you raised me... G-d, thank you for giving me wonderful parents. She recalled their 25th wedding anniversary just two weeks earlier,
