Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden spoke to the family of Wadea Al-Fayoume, the six-year-old Palestinian-American boy who was stabbed to death in Illinois amid escalating tensions over the Middle Eastern conflict. The call followed the president’s address to the nation on Thursday.
According to the White House, the Bidens expressed their “deepest condolences” and said they were praying for the recovery of Wadea’s mother, Hannan Shahin, who was also injured in the vicious attack.
